Salted Caramel Popcorn Apples

Ingredients:

1 cup pitted Medjool dates, about 12

1/2 cup tahini

1 tsp vanilla bean paste

2 tbsps coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

6 small red apples

6 Paddle Pop sticks

Cobs Natural Sea Salt Popcorn

Method:

Grease and line a tray for the apples
Use a food processor to combine all of the ingredients, except for the apples and popcorn. Pulse until it forms a smooth paste, adding a tablespoon of warm water at a time until reaching a thick but slightly runny consistency. It will slightly harden on cooling
Chop the top off the apples, removing about 1/2cm, to allow the apple to stand flat. While apples are sitting flat, push the Paddle Pop half way through the apple
Pour the date caramel mixture into a small, deep bowl. Dip each apple into the caramel, coating all over. Press onto apple to help coat evenly
Then, roll the date-covered apples in Cobs Natural Sea Salt popcorn. Place upright onto tray and repeat with remaining apples. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to one hour to set
