Caramel Apple Mummies
Hope you’re hungry for some freakish fare that hits the sweet spot. These mummies are so fun to make, adorable to look at, and totally delicious to eat.
Ingredients
Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates, firmly packed (~14 large dates)
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon maple extract or natural flavor
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Apple Mummies
- 2 apples, cut into long, thin slices
- Dark chocolate chips*, 2 per mummy
Instructions
- To make the caramel 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 assemble: add two dark chocolate chips at the top of each apple slice to look like mummy eyes. Next, add caramel sauce to a zip-top bag and cut one corner of the bag to use for piping. Pipe caramel sauce over each apple slice from top to bottom to look like a mummy.
- If you have any caramel sauce leftover, store in the fridge in a sealed container. Note that the sauce will thicken up in the fridge; if you’d like to thin out the consistency, simply microwave for about 15 seconds and stir before serving.
