Raw Foods Book: Recipes and Detox Diets for Healthy Eating

• 6 small to medium apples  (Fuji or Granny Smith)
• 1 cup Maple Syrup
• 1 cup Lucuma Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Optional:

• 1 cup raw pecans , chopped
• *Popsicle sticks or Craft Sticks

In medium mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Lucuma powder, salt and coconut oil until a thick, creamy sauce is formed. This is a raw version of caramel sauce and can be used in many desserts.

Choose an apple, press a craft stick into the center, pressing through the core halfway.  Holding the stick, dip the apple into the raw caramel sauce and turn slowly to coat the apple. Use a spatula to spread sauce evenly around apple and to remove excess.

If you like, finish by coating with chopped pecans. Place chopped pecans in flat bowl or plate.  Hold stick and roll caramel-coated apple in the pecans until well covered with nuts.
