Ingredients

  • 36 Medjool Dates
  • 300 g (375 ml) Almonds, raw
  • 255 g (560 ml) Dried apples, unsweetened
  • 180 g (375 ml) Walnuts, raw
  • 150 g (250 ml) Golden raisins
  • 9 g (15 ml) Ground cinnamon

Method

Step 1

Add the dates to a food processor and blend until they’re broken up. Add the dried apples, raisins, almonds, walnuts, and cinnamon.

Step 2

Pulse until combined – there should be small bits of nuts and raisins remaining, but not too big. Be careful not to over-process so it doesn’t get too sticky or greasy.

Step 3

Press the dough into a small pan lined with parchment paper, or just place the date dough on the parchment paper and press into a square/rectangular shape, then use a rolling pin to flatten the top.

Step 4

Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour for it to solidify. Cut into desired shape.
