To make the topping, place 3/4 of the chopped apples, orange juice, Natvia, apple sauce and cornflour in a saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring until mixture thickens, around 4-5 minutes.
Add remaining apple, cinnamon and vanilla and stir through.
Whisk together egg,oil, vanilla and almond extract.
Place oats, flour, almond meal, Natvia, salt and apple sauce in a food processor and blend until it forms a ball of dough, then, with the motor running, gradually add the egg/oil mixture, scraping mixture from the sides.
Press dough into the slice tray, cover with a piece of baking paper and, using a glass, press and roll to a smooth, even level.
Top with apple mixture and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 180°C, sprinkle with almonds and bake for a further 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool in tin for 2 hours. Place slice on a chopping board and cut into 16 squares.
