"My family prefers these chewy wholesome bars to store-bought granola bars," says Kim Finup of Kalamazoo, Michigan. "They combine two popular flavors-apple and peanut butter-and make a great grab-and-go breakfast or anytime snack."

I made these granola fruit bars for my kids' lunchboxes and they were a hit! They're so much healthier than the store-bought granola bars, and they taste just as good.

These granola fruit bars are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some bananas that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the bars and they turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of granola bars, but these are really good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice chewy texture.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was happy to find a granola fruit bar recipe that didn't include them. These bars are just as good as the ones with nuts, and they're just as filling.
