ingredients: 1 large honeycrisp apple, cut into thick slices make a hole in the middle of each apple slice date peanut butter caramel: 1/2 cup dates 1/4 cup runny peanut butter 2 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp vanilla extract 2-3 tbsp dairy-free milk (to slightly thin out the caramel) but it should still be thick. you can add as much liquid as you want to make it thinner. melted chocolate and more peanut butter if you would like for topping!
Instructions
start by slicing your honeycrisp apples into thick rings. make sure to remove the core and create a hole in the center of each slice. this will give you the perfect canvas for your snickers-inspired deliciousness.
in a food processor, combine the dates, runny peanut butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and dairy-free milk. blend until you achieve a creamy and luscious caramel consistency. if the caramel is too thick, add more dairy-free milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired thickness.
assemble your epic snickers-inspired apple rings. take each apple ring and generously spread the date peanut butter caramel over the top.
for that classic snickers crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the caramel-covered apple rings. last but certainly not least, melt some chocolate and drizzle it over your apple rings
to finish, don't forget a pinch of sea salt to enhance all the flavors and create that perfect sweet-savory balance.
