Preparation: To make the caramel sauce: (makes about 1½ cups sauce)Add dates and boiling water to blender and allow the dates to soak and soften for 15 mins. Remove ½ cup water and set aside (you can add some later for a thinner consistency, if preferred).Add maple syrup, extracts and salt, and blend until velvety smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.To make apples:Gently pat apple slices with a paper towel to dry them off and spread them out in a single layer on baking sheet. (I use 4 large apples to fill a half baking sheet, about ~17 x 13 inches) then, spoon (and spread) caramel sauce over apples. Add your favorite toppings, including semi-sweet chocolate chips, toasted nuts, and granola. Dig in!Try my Caramel Popcorn.
