Ingredients:

• 14 pitted medjool dates
• 2 large organic green apples, pitted, quartered, skins on
• 1&1/2 cup uncooked oat flakes.

Instructions:

1. Place all the ingredients into a food processor and blend.
2. With slightly damp hands, scoop about 1&1/2 teaspoons of the mixture and roll into a ball. Continue until all the batter is used up – you should have about 28-30 bite sized caramel apples.
3. Store in fridge if they will be used with a few days. If not, place in the freezer.

Note: If you want to make these into a special treat, dip the balls half way into melted dark chocolate, and chopped nuts.

Stick a small piece of a drinking straw into the other side, i.e., non -chocolate side, to make the treat look like a chocolate dipped caramel apple
