    Apple Pie Energy Bites

  • 0.5 cup sliced almonds

  • 0.5 cup walnuts

  • 0.25 cup rolled oats

  • 0.75 cup chopped dried apple slices lightly packed

  • 0.5 pitted Medjool dates

  • Place the apples and dates in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the toasted nuts and oats, vanilla, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and forms clumps, about 30 pulses.
