- flaky sea salt for topping
- 1 1/3 cups dates loosely packed
- 1 cup dried apples firmly packed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 5 tablespoons creamy almond butter melted, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Roast the almonds until lightly brown and nutty smelling, about 10-12 minutes.
- Add the almonds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into a large food processor and process until broken down and crumbly.
- Add in the dates and dried apples and process until well mixed and the mixture begins to form a ball.
- With the food processor running, stream in the water and 1 tablespoon of the almond butter until well mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to a square 8x8-inch pan and press out evenly along the bottom. Spread the remaining almond butter over top.
- Chill for 1 hour or until the almond butter is tacky. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon and sea salt flakes.
