These are wonderful! The dried apples lend moistness and a dense, slightly chewy texture. With crunch from chopped nuts and cinnamon for spice, there's a lot of flavor packed into each 1.6 ounce bar.. I was curious to see if eating one of these with a small glass of almond milk as a quick breakfast would suffice for a couple of hours and the answer is yes. I'm looking forward to sampling Larabar's other flavors.
Update: I've now tried the Coconut Cream and Cherry Pie options and for what it's worth, I'm adding my opinion of those. The coconut is in a word, heavenly! I'm actually delaying placing another order, as this bar is just too tempting. I'm not a big fan of sweets, but these are impossible to resist. A lot of coconut and the texture becomes creamy, after a couple of bites - fantastic!
I found the cherry selection to be my least favorite. The flavor is okay, but for me, the tartness is a little overwhelming. It wasn't reminiscent of cherry pie, either. But, every palate is different, so if you like dried cherries and nuts, give this one a try.
Update #2: Just received a new flavor - Lemon Bar, which is right up there with the Coconut Cream. Now, I have two favorites! A lovely combination of sweetness and lemon, not too tart. Additional note: after eating these for a few days, I found I tired of this flavor, I'm sorry to say. Although I don't dislike lemon, it just became unappetizing.
**I did notice that this box contained only 15 bars, rather than the 16 indicated. I'm not normally one to consider checking something such as this, but after reading multiple reviews regarding this same issue, decided to see for myself. I can't imagine Larabar's quality control people allowing such a problem to continue. Surely they'll implement measures for resolution.**
Final Input - Blueberry Muffin simply doesn't have much flavor, in my opinion. From this point on, I'll be ordering only Coconut Creme, as it's just hands-down the best of Larabar's selections...
These are good, but I will definitely buy other flavors instead. I have tried 5 flavors of Larabars, here's my ranking:
1. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
2. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (close second)
3. Blueberry Muffin (close third, get these if you don't love chocolate)
4. Apple Pie
5. Fruits + Grains Mango Spinach Cashew (these not good but edible)
You know how you'd think fruit and nut bars are healthy? And then you read the ingredient list and it's all flour and sugar? And you start to doubt everything down to the very fibers of the universe? These bars with set you straight. They will restore your faith in righteousness. They will balance the force. They are FRUIT and NUT and nothing else.
I started ordering these, Larabar Gluten Free Fruit & Nut Food Bar, Apple Pie, 16 - 1.6 Ounce Bars when I was following the paleo eating diet/lifestyle/whatever you want to call it. It's got no grains/carbs/gluten so it fits within those guidelines quite nicely. It's pretty sweet, too so my kids quite enjoyed it. The only issue is that they do have nuts so we can't pack them in lunches or send to school functions. That's fine. I keep a package of them in my pantry and I also keep a box in my car for emergency snacks. You know when you are a mom, emergency snacks are a MUST!
My kids love this apple pie flavor the best even more than the chocolatey ones!
I like Larabars a lot and these are my favorite!! I would continue ordering but the cost started adding up and I learned how to make a decent larabar :)

I really like these. Great for a quick snack at work and it's nice knowing that I'm not downing artificial chemicals as sweeteners. The taste is not too strong and they are not super soft, but that's not a complaint. The freshness seemed fine as well.
I like this brand and apple pie is one of my favorite. I like it’s not too sweet, I believe it’s even healthy snack.
I’ve tried so many and most of them are good, only the chocolate chips brownies isn’t that tasty.... overall Larabar is a great brand
These taste very similar an apple pie! It's made from fruit and it's one of my favorite snack bars.
I gave these to my nephew at a wrestling tournament (he's state-ranked and eats enough for 5 adults even though he's only 13 - seriously - 5 adults.) He loved them so much his dad bought 6 cases and 2 weeks later they were gone. Love that they're made with whole, real ingredients and not some franken-food monstrosity.
