These apple pie energy balls are a delightful no-bake snack that combines the flavors of apple pie in a healthy, easy-to-make bite. Packed with wholesome ingredients like Medjool dates and toasted pecans, these quick energy bites are perfect for meal prep and on-the-go snacking.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup chopped dried apples
- ½ cup unsweetened almond butter
- ¼ cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Soak the dates: Place ¾ cup Medjool dates in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let sit for 5–10 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
- Blend ingredients: In a food processor, combine the soaked dates, ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup chopped dried apples, ½ cup almond butter, ¼ cup toasted pecans, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and starts to clump together.
