Apple Pie Energy Balls

Have you missed me? I missed you. I’m back though and I have a bunch of goodies on the way starting with these Apple Pie Energy Balls. Check in tomorrow for Lentil, Sweet Potato and Kale Stew and watch for a new post in my Blogging Series coming very soon.

Stick to the Basics

For todays recipe post, I decided to keep it basic and stick to what I know….no-bake energy balls, of course! Whip these up in just a few minutes and you’ve got a healthy snack reminiscent of apple pie ready to enjoy. As usual, simply throw all the ingredients in your food processor or high-powered blender and mix until a dough forms, then just roll and go!

Apple Pie Energy Balls

To make these apple pie balls, you’ll need both dates and dried apple rings. You’ll need to use soft and chewy apple rings, not crunchy ones. If your dried apple seems to hard, soak it first in hot water before using. Same goes for the dates, make sure you use nice, soft dates in this recipe otherwise it won’t hold together.

You can use either pecan or walnuts and other than that all you need is a few spices. So easy!
