Preparation

  1. Thinly slice apple on a mandoline. Place slices in a bowl with cinnamon and oil; toss to coat evenly.
  2. Coat air fryer basket well with cooking spray. Place 7 to 8 apple slices in single layer in basket and cook at 375°F for 12 minutes. Turn the slices every 4 minutes, rearranging to flatten them, as they will move during the cooking process. After cooking, slices will not be completely crisped but will continue to crisp upon cooling. Repeat with remaining apple slices.
  3. To serve, place 6 to 8 apple slices on each plate with a small dollop of caramel sauce (recipe below).

Preparation

  1. Add all ingredients (starting with ¾ cup almond milk) into a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until mixture is smooth and there are no date chunks detectable.
  2. Add more almond milk, 1-2 Tbsp at a time, if needed to help the blending process or to thin the caramel.
  3. Note: If dates are dry or hard, soak them in water for about 30 minutes, drain and then use them in the recipe.
  4. Use immediately or store in the fridge for later.
  5. Drizzle over cooled apple slices.
