What I am doing is Instead of using corn syrup, I use a bit of honey or pure maple syrup. It still gives that sweet, sticky goodness without the extra processed stuff. Then, roll the caramel apples in crushed nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds. It adds a nice crunch and some healthy fats.

I've tried using coconut sugar instead of regular sugar for the caramel.It's still sweet but with less guilt. My kids love it!
That's awesome! Coconut sugar's a good swap for sure. And it's great that the kids are into it!

Crushed nuts or seeds are genius for that extra crunch and nutrition!

Omg, this sounds bomb!Craft guilt-free caramel apples by using a caramel made from blended medjool dates and almond milk, rolling them in crushed nuts for a nutty coating, and savoring in moderation for a healthier treat.
Thanks for the suggestion; using medjool dates and almond milk for caramel is such a clever idea—totally adding crushed nuts for that extra crunch!
