- 1-2 tablespoons drippy almond butter or peanut butter

Instructions

Notes
- Use fresh, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best texture and sweetness.
- To toast pecans, simply dry roast them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant.
- If nut allergies are a concern, substitute nut butter and nuts with sunflower seed butter and seeds.
- Store leftover date caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- This recipe is ideal for a quick snack or as a healthy dessert alternative.
