These Apple Pie Stuffed Dates bring together the flavors and textures of apple pie in a simple, no-bake treat. Sweet Medjool dates are filled with creamy almond butter and crisp fresh apple, then finished with cinnamon and Plant Strong Apple Cinnamon Granola for plenty of whole-grain crunch.

The combination of soft dates, creamy almond butter, fresh apple, and crunchy granola makes every bite satisfying, while the dates and apples provide natural sweetness without needing much else.

With just a handful of ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep, they’re an easy option for an afternoon snack, simple dessert, or fall treat.

Ingredients

8 large Medjool dates
¼ cup natural almond butter
½ small crisp apple, thinly sliced into small pieces
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup Plant Strong Apple Cinnamon Granola

Directions

Using a small sharp knife, carefully slice each Medjool date lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Remove and discard the pits. Gently open each date to create a pocket for the filling.
Spoon approximately 1½ teaspoons almond butter into the center of each date.
Cut the apple into thin, small slices or matchsticks that will fit easily inside the dates. Tuck 2–3 small pieces of apple into the almond butter in each date.
Lightly sprinkle the filled dates with cinnamon.
Top each date with Plant Strong Apple Cinnamon Granola, gently pressing it into the almond butter so it stays in place while keeping the granola pieces intact and crunchy.
Serve immediately for the best contrast between the crisp apple, crunchy granola, creamy almond butter, and soft dates.
