What if my medjool dates aren't soft and gooey?

If your medjool dates are not soft, soak them in warm water for about 20 minutes before blending to achieve the best 'caramel' paste consistency.

Can I use a different type of apple for these cookies?

Yes, any crisp apple variety like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp will work well as the base for these raw caramel apple cookies.

How should I store leftover Raw Caramel Apple Cookies?

Store any leftover raw caramel apple cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.

Are there any other toppings I can add to these apple cookies?

Absolutely! Consider adding chopped nuts, seeds, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of melted dairy-free chocolate for extra flavor and texture.

Can I make the date caramel paste ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the date paste up to 3 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, then slather it on fresh apple slices when ready to serve.
