Ingredients
Scale
- For the date caramel:
- 11–12 dates (pitted)
- 1/2–3/4 cup almond milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- For the filling:
- 8 apples (peeled and chopped into 1/2–1 inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- For the streusel topping:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (at room temperature)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the date caramel. Process until smooth and creamy, which could take a few minutes. If needed, scrape down the side of the bowl and add a bit more almond milk to keep the caramel going in the food processor. Set caramel mixture aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, grease a dutch oven or large casserole dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ingredients for the filling, including the spices. Mix in all of the date caramel sauce. In a smaller bowl, combine all of the streusel topping ingredients and mix together with your hands until a crumbly topping has formed. Transfer filling mixture to the greased dish and sprinkle with streusel topping.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly and apples are tender.
