When it comes to apples, these apples are my favorite

This thread reminded me of one of our favorite snacks. Apple slices with date caramel for scooping. (date caramel is really date paste)
To make the date paste/caramel, soak the dates or warm them in hot water, even simmer a little. Drain, pit, then blend them in the food processor. The paste is a lot like a thick caramel sauce but more grainy. The advantage of this snack is that it is sweet with natural fruit instead of granulated sugar.

Sure! Remove the pit before cooking.
Date syrup is made by adding water to the date paste until it is soupy and then squeezing it out through a cheesecloth. We can buy that here too.

i think it is better to pit before cooking so you can look for worms if there are any..
