Ingredients

  • 3 lbs apples, any variety Pink Lady, Fuji, Golden Delicious, or Braeburn recommended
  • 8 pitted Medjool dates diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Peel and dice apples and place into a large mixing bowl. Roughly chop pitted dates and add to apples.
  • Season apples and dates with cinnamon, vanilla, and salt and mix well.
  • Add apple mixture to a slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours, or until apples are golden and completely tender.
  • Puree apples using an immersion blender, or, allow apples to cool slightly before transering to a blender.

Notes

Note: for additional spice, pinches of ground ginger, nutmeg, and cloves are wonderful!
