I have made this recipe many times for my husband who is from Morocco. I had this recipe book and lost it--finding the recipe here was great. This is one of his favorites. I would recommend not making this in a crock pot.

I made these Christmas time and my boyfriend (who doesn't like coconut) loved these bars. Everybody who tried them just loved them and they are sooooo simple to make. They also freeze well!

A truly amazing combination of flavors. The dressing is divine, the warm and tart goat cheese combined with the sweetness of apple ring is truly out of this world.
