Preparation Time: 25

Serves: 5

Ingredients:
  • 5 medium size apples, unblemished, any variety
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, soaked, pits removed, and chopped
  • 1/3 cup raw almond butter
  • pinch Celtic sea salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 cup water, reserved from the soaked dates
  • 1 cup peanuts and filberts, ground in food processor, or any other nuts of your choice
Place apples on skewers. In a blender, combine the rest of the ingredients, except for nuts, and blend until the mixture resembles caramel: smooth and sticky. Scrape the sides as you are blending, and add more water as needed. Transfer caramel sauce to a deep bowl. Dip apples into the sauce until they are completely covered, and roll on a plate with the chopped nuts. Use leftover caramel sauce as a dip for sliced apples. Note: Preparation time is 25 minutes plus time for soaking dates and nuts.
