Ingredients
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended): Choose firm apples with a good balance of sweetness and tartness for perfect bite-sized pieces.
- 1/2 cup natural almond butter or peanut butter: Natural nut butters work best as they contain no added sugars or hydrogenated oils.
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey: This adds the natural sweetness needed for the caramel with a lower glycemic index than refined sugar.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For a lovely depth of flavor.
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional): Adds a warm, cozy touch perfect for autumn.
- Pinch of sea salt: Enhances the caramel flavor and balances sweetness.
- Chopped nuts or seeds (optional): For garnish and extra crunch, consider pistachios, walnuts, or chia seeds.
