Ideal for a healthy dessert or snack, this recipe is quick, easy, and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by pitting the dates if they aren't already pitted.
- Soak the dates in warm water for about 10-15 minutes to soften them up. This helps to make the blending process easier.
- Drain the dates and place them into a blender or a food processor.
- Add the almond milk, a dash of salt, and cinnamon to the blender.
- Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy caramel consistency. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well-mixed.
- While the dates are soaking, wash the apples thoroughly.
- Dry the apples with a clean towel or paper towel.
- You can either leave the apples whole and dip them in the caramel, or you can slice them into wedges for smaller, more manageable pieces.
- For whole apples: Insert a popsicle stick into the top of each apple to act as a handle. Dip the apples into the date caramel, twirling them to coat evenly. You might need to use a spoon to help coat them completely.
- For apple slices: Simply dip each slice or use a spoon to drizzle the caramel over the slices.
- Place the caramel apples on a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper to set.
- You can enjoy them immediately, or for a firmer caramel, chill them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Tips:
- Soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes before blending to make them softer and easier to process.
- If you prefer a thinner caramel sauce, add a little more almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Use a powerful blender or food processor to ensure the caramel sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Store any leftover caramel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Try using different varieties of apples to discover which one you like best with the caramel sauce.
Enjoy your vegan cinnamon date caramel apples either as a refreshing dessert or a nutritious snack. The combination of the rich caramel sauce and the crisp, juicy apples is sure to please your palate. This simple recipe not only tastes great but also provides a healthy alternative to traditional caramel apples.
