Date Caramel Apple Rounds
Apples and caramel are an elite combo and a quintessential fall treat! Let's make a healthy and naturally sweetened version with this date caramel recipe. This recipe is so simple to make and are so fun, so definitely add these to your fall recipes!
I have been seeing this date caramel everywhere ever since making this, and it is definitely for good reason! I cannot stress enough how delicious medjool dates are, you will just have to try this out for yourself.

Ingredients and Benefits:
Dates: Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, copper, magnesium, selenium, and have a low glycemic index
Apples: Rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamin C and E, and polyphenols for heathy digestion, brain health, and satiation
Chocolate: I opt for a refined sugar free chocolate. Here I used Oobli chocolate ("OLIVIA20" for 20% off), which is low in sugar and contains some protein!
Cacao nibs: Optional, but rich in flavonoids and potassium for heart health
These date caramel apple rounds are absolutely addictive! The crisp apple with the creamy caramel is just perfect. Even better, the only sugar in this recipe is from fruit, and they taste so amazing!
