Ingredients
 

  • 1 ⅓ cup (80 g) dried soft apple rings not crispy apple chips
  • 4 (100 g) Medjool dates
  • ½ cup (80 g) raisins
  • ½ cup (80 g) almonds
  • ½ cup (70 g) cashews
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean powder or vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons lukewarm water if needed

Instructions
 

  • Soak: Add the pitted Medjool dates and raisins to a bowl with hot water. Let them soften for 5 minutes, then drain.
  • Bowl of soft apple rings cut into pieces with scissors next to it.
    Apple rings: Cut the apple rings into smaller pieces with kitchen scissors or a knife to help them blend more easily.
  • Chopped almonds and cashews in a food processor.
    Crush the nuts: Add the almond and cashews to a food processor fitted with an S-blade and blend until roughly chopped.
  • Light brown sticky energy ball mixture in a food processor.
    Make the energy ball mixture: Add the Medjool dates, raisins, apple rings, cinnamon, and vanilla to the food processor. Blend until it all comes together. If the mixture is a little dry and falls apart when you try to roll it into balls, add 1 tablespoon of warm water and blend again.
  • Hand holding a brown energy ball.
    Shape: Roll 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the apple-cinnamon mixture.
  • Fourteen apple cinnamon energy balls in a glass container.
    Storage: You can store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
