Raw Toffee Apples with Vegan Date Caramel

For the caramel:

220g pitted dates
60g RAW Organic Almond Butter
20g RAW Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
1 tbsp. RAW Organic Acacia Flower Honey
1 tsp. maple or vanilla extract / seeds from one vanilla pod
½ tsp. cinnamon (optional)
A pinch of sea salt

For the apples:

6 apples
Bamboo sticks

Topping ideas:
Desiccated coconut
Chopped nuts
Freeze dried raspberries

Soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes.

Drain the dates and add them to a blender, along with all of the other ingredients. Blend until completely smooth. Refrigerate for at least half an hour or until ready to assemble your apples.

Stick a bamboo stick into the top of the core of the apple to make a handle.

Use a spoon to spread a thick layer of caramel over the apples, covering them completely.

Sprinkle your toppings over the apples generously. Keep in the fridge until ready to eat.
