Almond butter caramel apples

 

Personally, I’ve no time for rock hard caramel on an apple. Having had fixed ‘train-track’ braces for four years I’ve already spent enough time in the dentist chair. Instead, the caramel to accompany apples in this recipe is silky, smooth, and totally addictive. Spoon over ice cream, drizzle on pancakes, or just eat straight from the jar. For an umami kick add a teaspoon of miso to the saucepan when you melt together the coconut oil and syrup.
