Cruelty-Free Caramel Apples By @casch_rock ❤️
Completely refined sugar-free & oil free! Makes 6-8 apples.

Ingredients:
1 ½ cups packed medjool dates, pitted (about 15 dates)
2 tablespoons cashew butter (can sub nut-butter of choice)
Pinch of salt, about 1/8 teaspoon or more to taste for a salted caramel flavor
2 tablespoons non-dairy milk, I used soy
1 tablespoon hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon of mesquite powder, completely optional
6 apples, I used honeycrisp
6 craft sticks or wooden skewers cut down, as shown
1+ cup chopped nuts or toppings of choice, I used walnuts gently chopped

Directions:
1. If your dates feel really dry and stiff, pre-soak them in hot water for 10-30 minutes to soften.
2. Combine the dates, cashew butter, salt, dairy-free milk, water, and vanilla into a food processor and run until smooth. You may need to stop the processor to scrape down the sides. Transfer date-caramel mixture to a bowl. You can try to dip and roll around the apples or just spread the caramel on with a knife.
Enjoy & glow lean!
