These are really fun to make, and super healthy. Oh and as you can tell from the photos - so easy they hardly need instructions. Slice up some apples and layer them with caramel and almond butter. Yum! Make these with kids and you will make some new little friends.
apple sandwiches with date caramel + almond butter : serves 2 to 4
4 apples
Almond butter or other nut butter
Caramel:
1/2 cup dates
2 tablespoons liquid coconut oil (or use water... won't be as creamy though)
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Make the caramel: blend all ingredients until smooth.
Assemble: Slice the apples thinly from bottom to top and then core each piece. Now layer each slice with alternating caramel and nut butter. Enjoy!

Hi Emily,
I love your site - fabulous recipes, gorgeous photos and wonderfully inspiring words!!
I've made your date caramel quite a few times now, even with just a hand blender it tastes amazing! These look fantastic, can't wait to try.
Thanks for all the positive energy you're sending out into the world!!

Thank YOU, Olga! Really appreciate that. <3
Hi Emily, i am a reader of your blog from Sweden! I really get motivated to eat and live a healthier life when I see all these delicious recipe =) But I have a question; which sweetner do you prefer and think is the healthiest? Agave, maple syrup, coconut palm sugar etc? Or are all this kinda bad for us?
When I sweetens I use honey (but don't like the taste) and dates, but i thinking of buying something else to sweeten.
//Hugs!
Thanks so much! Raw honey is very healthy, but not vegan. Agave, maple syrup and coconut sugar are all slightly processed but still convenient. They can be eaten in moderation and you'll be fine, but the best choice for everyone is dates I think. It's a whole food, and totally vegan!

Where do you buy the cute heart-shaped cookie cutter you used?
These are amazing!!! Loving your site!
Thank you! <3
A thrift store I think? But I am sure you can get them online for cheap.
Emily, awesome recipe I want to try it, but I have a question, do you have a special almond butter recipe?? I'm trying to find a good recipe for it, if you can help me I will appreciate it, thanks!!
Hey :) Nope not really. You can buy raw almond butter or roasted almond butter depending on your preferences. Or you can blend up almonds into butter in a high speed blender or food processor. It will take several minutes. Apparently people have less problems when they use a food processor.

How on earth do these taste like Carmel? Omg its amazing. My 5 year old took the spoon out of my hand and my picky hubby didn't believe me that it was dates. Janine
Haha I know right!? Thanks for sharing, Janine x
Just made these - Awesome! Next time I may make some type of raw apple pie or crumble using this recipe.
I tried this recipe, and i loved it!
The almond butter tastes like whipped cream if you make a homemade version.
Great job!
I posted a blog post about my thoughs about this recipe and i also added a picture.
