Nothing screams fall like caramel apples. Caramel apples are a classic fall treat that remind me of crisp autumn air and pumpkin picking.

I always want September to feel like fall. Everyone starts drinking pumpkin spice lattes, but in most of the country it's still sweltering outside!

There's no way I'm going to bake a ton of treats when it's still hot out.

These Caramel Apple Energy Bites bring fall to life without the oven. They are no-bake and take approximately 10 minutes to make. AND they have all the fall flavor.

The bites are also super healthy. Fruits are the main ingredients, along with a few other plant-based foods that come together for a quick burst of energy, with enough fiber to keep the sugar-high away.

As with all plant-based foods, these bites come with TONS of nutrients. First, fiber, which is hands-down the best nutrient you can consume. Fiber regulates your digestion and can helps you maintain a healthy weight. Learn more here!

These bites also have tons of potassium, manganese, and Omega-3s. It's like eating a nutritional powerhouse!

Let's go through the ingredients.

Ingredients

• Oats: You can use rolled or quick oats. Get certified gluten-free oats if necessary.
• Apple Chips: Using apple chips instead of raw apples helps eliminate some of the moisture. AND you get a delicious crunch from the chips instead of a gross mushy texture. I used these apple chips because they have no added sugar or oils.
• Medjool Dates: Dates have a super sweet flavor that works so well to mimic the taste of caramel.
• Date Syrup: We're using another form of dates to achieve the perfect texture. If we used dates alone, the bites wouldn't hold. Date syrup makes the bites just sticky enough to hold together.
• Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse that add a tad bit of crunch to the bites.
• Cinnamon: Apple cinnamon is a classic flavor, so cinnamon in this recipe is a no-brainer.
• Vanilla Extract: A touch of vanilla adds depth of flavor.

How to make Caramel Apple Energy Bites

The best part of these bites is how easy they are. There's only a few steps!

Step 1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor. Process until the mixture sticks together.

Step 2. Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. It will help A TON to wet your hands before you do this. That way the mixture will stick to itself and not your hands.

Step 3. Place each ball on a parchment-lined tray. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Step 4. If the bites are a little loose, put them in the fridge for a few minutes to firm them up. If not, enjoy right away!

Step 5. Keep in the fridge and enjoy whenever you need a bite of energy!
