    Raw Vegan Caramel Apple Cookies

    Sep 23, 2014 • Breakfast, Festive/Holidays, Luteal Phase, Snacks, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Raw Vegan Caramel Apple Cookies made with "date caramel" plus your favorite toppings. So easy and fun to make! These "cookies" are a perfect low-fat healthy snack or even breakfast option! From The Glowing Fridge

     

    I’ve been patiently waiting for honey crisp apples to go on sale and today was the day!  So I picked up a bunch 🙂 along with butternut squash, spaghetti squash and concord grapes that sorta taste like sour jelly.. it’s totally weird at first but they are addicting after a while.

    Have you tried concord grapes?! You must.

    My favorite snack of all time has always been peanut butter with apple slices, but I’ve grown bored of this typical snack. Not only that but I’ve been trying to cut back on my peanut butter addiction.

    It’s gotten out of control.

    I’ve also been eyeing all the caramel apples at the grocery stores that I can’t eat… so it was time to come up with my own, new, low-fat snack and vegan version of the seasonal caramel apple.

    It’s a total win. These Raw Vegan Caramel Apple Cookies also turned out to be my breakfast and lunch today ha. The life of a blogger! Someone has to eat all this food I create 🙂

    For the “caramel” I just blended up a bunch of gooey dates in the food processor with some water which turned into this sweet caramel-y spread. Dates are nature’s perfect sweetener and don’t need anything extra! To jazz it up I topped these apple cookies with coconut, raisins and chocolate chips. I know chocolate chips aren’t raw! You don’t have to add these if you are a raw vegan, but I knew they would add that chocolately touch. This snack made me feel like I was about 5 years old.. but I didn’t mind. It’s definitely a perfect snack or breakfast for kids. And adults.

    If you don’t want to get all fancy, you can just dip the apple slices into the “caramel” but the fancy way is more fun 🙂

     

    Other ways to enjoy “date caramel”:

    Spread on graham crackers.

    Add to smoothies for sweetness.

    Dip bananas in it.

    Top your nice cream with it.

    The options are endless.

    Description

    Apple slices topped with “date caramel” and your favorite toppings! The perfect healthy snack or breakfast options


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 15–20 soft, gooey medjool dates (soak in water for 20 minutes if they are not soft)
    • 1/3 cup water
    • 1 apple
    • 2 tablespoons raisins
    • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
    • 2 tablespoons dairy-free chocolate chips, optional (I like the Enjoy Life brand)

    Instructions

    1. In a food processor, blend the gooey dates until they are finely chopped. Add the water and blend until it turns into a date “paste”.
    2. Slice your apple into circular slices and slather on the date “paste”.
    3. Top with raisins, coconut and chocolate chips.

    • Omit the chocolate chips if you are a raw vegan. Other topping options: pecans, almonds, walnuts, gogi berries, cinnamon.

      This is brilliant! I’ve often seen date paste smoothered around whole apples and wondered how on earth it would stick to it properly. This totally solves that problem. Today’s afternoon tea is this!!!!

        Hi Sandy – yes I have seen that too! I was thinking you could even add another apple slice on top for a cookie sandwich. I just love these little raw apple cookies. I have them as a snack all the time. Hope you enjoy!

    yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority bu yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority but in that I’ve sort of lost myself.

It’s my own doing too so don’t feel bad for me 😂 because it truly never felt right to leave my girl. We are very attached. Am I crazy? Yes, probably. But I’m okay with that. I realized my baby will be FINE if I go get a professional haircut or a pampering pedicure. Idk what changed but I think it’s the fact that I’m noticing more wrinkles and my hair could use a transformation. It’s greasy, heavy and lacking life. So I’m getting a haircut this week 💇‍♀️ I’m changing to a customized hair care system AND I’m scheduling a hydra facial because my skin desperately needs hydration. My skin, hair and nervous system need some serious self care haha.

Mamas, it may not feel right just yet to prioritize you but the time will come. Just follow your intuition 🖤🖤🖤 you deserve it.

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑
