Cooking & Baking Supplies

  • Food Processor
  • Air Fryer

Ingredients  

  • 1 1/2 cups pitted dates
  • 1 apple ( approx 1 cup), cored, peeled and chopped into small pieces
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for apples)
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1/2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • sprinkle of salt (optional)

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup coconut butter
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions 

  • Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes.
  • While the dates soak, preheat the air fryer to 370 for 4 minutes.
  • Chop apples into small diced pieces (about ¼ inch to ½ inch big). Add apples to a mixing bowl and coat with ½ tsp cinnamon.
  • Place tin foil down on the base of the air fryer (leaving some holes exposed) and add apples. Cook for 10 minutes at 370 degrees, shaking halfway.
  • Add nuts to the food processor and blend until they become small pieces.
  • Add coconut and dates to the food processor and blend for about 15 seconds, then add in water, vanilla extract, ½ tbsp of cinnamon, salt, and ¾ of the cooked apples and blend until a dough forms.
  • Line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper and add date dough, spreading it evenly with a spatula (the layer should be about 1 inch thick and might not take up the whole pan).
  • Place bars into the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Clean out the food processor and make the glaze by adding all ingredients into the food processor and blending until an icing forms.
  • Remove the bars from the freezer and spread the glaze over the bars, then sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of apples on top.
  • Place the bars back in the freezer for 20-30 minutes and then cut these into squares or bars! Store the bars in the refrigerator and ENJOY!
