Apple Popsicles with Date Caramel Crumble
Description
Apple Popsicles with Date Caramel Crumble start by cooking peeled, cored apple slices with water, maple syrup, and cinnamon until tender, then pureeing them with some texture left intact. This fruity base is frozen in molds to create the popsicles. The date caramel sauce, made by blending pitted dates with salt, vanilla, and non-dairy milk into a thick drizzle, adds a rich sweetness and moist contrast. The crumble topping, consisting of oats, flour, and chopped pecans mixed with coconut oil and honey, is toasted in a pan until golden and crumbly. Once frozen, these popsicles combine a smooth apple layer with a sweet drizzled caramel and crunchy pecan oat crumble, making for a naturally sweet frozen treat with complementary spicy and nutty notes. The method involves making each component separately then assembling them for a layered and textured dessert experience.
Ingredients
- 8 apple peeled, cored and sliced
- 240 ml water
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the date caramel
- 15 Medjool dates pitted (or standard dates soaked in warm water for an hour)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 5-10 tablespoons of non-dairy milk almond works well
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the crumble
- 1½ teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoon oats
- 1 ½ tablespoon plain flour
- 1 tablespoon pecans finely chopped
Instructions
- First, make the applesauce. In a saucepan over a medium heat, combine apples, water, honey and cinnamon. Cook uncovered, stirring often, for 10-15 minutes or until the apples are very soft.
- Allow to cool slightly, then roughly puree with a blender, hand held electric blender or food processor, keeping some large pieces for texture.
- Allow to cool completely, then fill ice lolly moulds and freeze for a few hours or overnight.
Meanwhile, make the toppings.
For the date caramel
- Add the pitted dates, salt and 5 tablespoons of milk to a blender or mini processor and whiz until smooth. Add more milk if necessary to make it a thick drippy consistency. Set aside or store in the fridge.
For the crumble topping
- In a small bowl, beat the coconut oil and maple syrup together well. Stir in the oats, flour and pecans, then rub the ingredients together with fingertips until it forms coarse crumbs.
- In a frying pan over a medium heat, toast the mixture for a few minutes, stirring often, until it is golden. Set aside.
To assemble
- When the lollies are set, run them under hot water to remove them from the molds. Dip them into the caramel and then into the crumble topping. Enjoy!
