Good for You-Naturally!™ Caramel Apples
‘Tis the season. Apples and pumpkins are 2 of my favorite fall crops. Raw pumpkin is yet to be tried here, but we love Good for You-Naturally!™ Pumpkin Bars, Pumpkin Muffins, and of course, Pumpkin Pie.
When it comes to apples, we never run out of ways to serve them – from fresh apple juice to apple crisp, and of course, apple pie. For a very special treat, there’s Caramel Apples. Very special, but still very Good for You-Naturally!™
Good for You-Naturally!™ Caramel Dip
for Apples and other Sweet Treats
- 10 fat and juicy, organic medjool dates
Soak in distilled/purified water to cover. (At least 1/2 – 1 hour.)
Drain – but save soak water.
Add to dates:
- 1-2 Tbl. soak water
- 2 Tbl. raw, organic extra virgin coconut oil
- 2 Tbl. raw honey [or real maple syrup]
- 1/2 – 1 tsp. pure real vanilla flavoring
Blend all in a food processor (or high performance blender) until smooth. Add enough soak water to make it nice and creamy.
Serve with crisp organic apple slices.
Yummy!
Recipe above updated. I forgot to note that real, pure maple syrup is very yummy too, instead of raw honey. Actually, I prefer the pure maple syrup.
This will keep in the fridge a few days. (Up to a week.)
