If you’re looking for a simple raw vegan dip this recipe is so simple to make and only uses a few simple ingredients: medjool dates, ground cinnamon, sea salt and spring water.
I use Medjool Dates anytime I have a recipe that I want to make a healthy treat. There is no refined or added sugars in this recipe which you could say makes it actually good for you.
This “Caramel” can be used for a dip for Apple slices, you could use it on top or as a filling for a cake or pie or even as a topping on your choice of nice cream.
Start by soaking the dates in spring water for 1 hour. Be sure they’re covered in water.
Then drain and rinse the soaked dates.
Next, remove the pits from the dates {you could also peel the skins off but I don’t always feel the need}. Add the soaked dates to a food processor.
Add in the ground cinnamon and sea salt with a splash of spring water.
Pulse until you get it well incorporated. Add more spring water if needed until it reaches the consistency you’re looking for.
Transfer to a bowl and serve with a side of juicy sliced apples.
Tip: soak your sliced apples in a bowl of spring water and squeeze in a ½ lemon freshly juiced to keep your apple slices from browning.
Dip and Enjoy!
If you have any left over transfer to a covered jar or container and store it in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
