Vegan date caramel apples

If you're looking for a delicious and healthy dessert, vegan date caramel apples are a perfect choice! This guilt-free treat is made with natural ingredients, and it's both easy to prepare and delightful to eat. With just dates, almond milk, a dash of salt, and fresh apples, you can whip up a sweet and satisfying snack that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

10 dates
240g
1/4 cup almond milk
60g
1 dash salt
0.40g
2 apples
360g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dates:
- If your dates are not soft, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes. This will make them easier to blend into a smooth caramel. After soaking, drain the water from the dates.
2. Blend the Caramel:
- Place the dates, almond milk, and a dash of salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, resembling caramel. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor a few times to ensure everything is evenly blended.
3. Prepare the Apples:
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.
- Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple through the stem area. Make sure the stick is securely in place so it can be used as a handle.
4. Coat the Apples:
- Using a spatula or a spoon, coat the apples with the date caramel. You can spread it evenly over the apple surface or opt for a more rustic look with thicker spots of caramel.
- Feel free to roll the caramel-coated apples in your favorite toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or crushed cookies if desired.
5. Chill and Set:
- Place the caramel-coated apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Chill the apples in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set firmly.
6. Serve:
- Once the caramel has set, take the apples out of the fridge.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy Vegan Date Caramel Apples!

Tips:

- Ensure your dates are soft and fresh for a smoother caramel. If not, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before using.

- You can use any plant-based milk if almond milk is not available or if you have allergies. Coconut milk or oat milk work well too.

- Add a bit of vanilla extract or cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.

- If you prefer a thicker caramel, reduce the amount of almond milk slightly.

- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweet caramel, or pick your favorite variety.

Vegan date caramel apples are a sweet and nutritious alternative to traditional caramel apples. With their creamy texture and natural sweetness, they’re sure to become a favorite treat. Enjoy them as a snack or a dessert, and feel good about indulging in something that's both delicious and wholesome!
