Apple Crisp Truffles

Place chopped dates and dried apples into the bowl of a food processor and process until they form a chunky paste, about 20–30 seconds.

Place pecan pieces into the food processor bowl along with the dried fruit paste, and process until mixed, about 10–20 seconds. Add the applesauce and apple pie spice to the mixture. Process until incorporated, about 10–20 seconds. Remove mixture from the food processor.

Form 6 to 8 small balls out of the mixture by rolling them between your palms. Set aside.

Place the finely chopped pecans onto a cutting board or plate and roll the balls around in the nuts until fully coated. Once again, roll the balls between your palms so that the nuts adhere and create a “crust”.

Store in the refrigerator.
