Description

Apple Pice Avocado Toast with seasonal apples, walnuts, and 2-ingredient date caramel. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack!


Ingredients

  • 1520 soft, gooey Medjool dates (soak in boiling water for 10 minutes to soften
  • 1/2 cup water + 1 TBSP increments until you reach desired consistency
  • 4 slices of bread, toasted (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 lemon, squeezed
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • 1 apple, any kind!
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (optional to toast them for 8 minutes at 350°F but I used raw nuts here)

Instructions

  1. To make the easy date caramel, add your gooey dates to a food processor and blend until they are finely chopped.
  2. Add the water and blend until it turns into a date “paste”. Continue to add water in 1-2 TBSP increments and pulse until the paste turns into a smooth runny liquid*.
  3. Transfer the date caramel to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  4. Slice your avocados in half and score the inside with a knife.
  5. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon into each avocado halve and sprinkle them with a bit of Himalayan sea salt and set aside to marinade.
  6. Meanwhile, toast your bread and core and slice your apples into thin wedges*.
  7. To assemble the Apple Pie Avocado Toasts, scoop out the lemon sea salt avocado mixture and smash 1/2 avocado on each toast with a fork. Top the toast with sliced apple, walnuts, and drizzle with easy date caramel. Garnish with hemp hearts. Serve immediately!

Notes

Use more water for a runnier drizzly date caramel and less for a thick, spreadable caramel. I added more water to mine and used a piping bag to drizzle my date caramel onto the toast.

If preparing the ingredients to assemble later toss your apple in lemon juice to prevent browning.
