vegan caramel apples


Brisk temperatures and changing clouds today put me in the mood for a fall treat: caramel apples. Slather your apples with a yummy, vegan date caramel (see recipe below), add your favorite topping (pecans, chocolate, a bit of salt), put on a sweatshirt, and bon ap'!


Date Caramel

Ingredients
12-15 pitted dates
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1tbsp almond cream
1 tsp water
smidgeon maple syrup
cinnamon, salt & a tiny pinch smokey paprika

Directions
Blend all ingredients in a food processor to get a thick, gooey, caramely consistency. 

Spread the date-caramel over 2 -3 apples and add your toppings or eat as dip.
