Ingredients

For the Date Caramel:

  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates soaked in hot water for 10 minutes
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup nut milk

For the Apple Pops:

  • 2-3 apples
  • 1 cup dark chocolate melted
  • Natural sprinkles chopped nuts, pretzel pieces, dried fruit, coconut flakes, or other toppings

Instructions

  • Soak the pitted Medjool dates in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Blend the dates, vanilla, and nut milk until completely smooth.
  • Slice 2-3 apples into approximately ½-inch slices. Slice to the left and right of the stem so the slices are sturdy enough for the popsicle sticks.
  • Use a knife to make a small slit at the bottom of each apple slice. Insert a popsicle stick through the slit.
  • Dip each apple slice in the date caramel, tapping off the excess.
  • Use a spoon to cover each caramel-coated apple pop with melted chocolate. Tap off the excess chocolate.
  • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately add your toppings.
  • Refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!
