It’s apple season, and what better way to enjoy a crisp, flavorful apple than with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top? This sauce avoids the cream and refined sugar in traditional caramel by utilizing rich flavors in Medjool dates, almonds, and coconut milk.

Spread it on toast, mix it into a myriad of treats, or eat it by the spoon. Almond butter is a tastebud pleaser. Home-ground almond butter is great, because it’s fresh, you have complete control of what goes into it, and raw almonds are cheaper too.
