Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates and pulse until they form a sticky paste.
Add the raw almonds and raw cashews to the food processor and pulse until they are roughly chopped and incorporated into the date paste.
Add the chopped dried apricots, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and begin to clump together. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly and pressing down firmly into an even layer using your hands or the back of a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the bars are firm and set.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into 12 equal pieces.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
