Spiced Paleo Apple Dip

Place all of the ingredients, except apples and lemon juice, in your blender or food processor (whichever one is the smallest). Blend until smooth. Before you scoop out the dip with a rubber spatula, take a little taste to make sure it’s sweet enough. You may want to add a little extra salt, too. If the flavor seems right to you, scoop the dip into a fancy serving bowl. Otherwise, add more syrup and blend a little longer.

Cover the apple slices with lemon juice. This will serve 2 purposes! First, it really adds a nice flavor and kick to the apples, which complements the dip nicely. Second, the lemon juice will preserve the color of the apples and keep them from turning brown. For a beautiful presentation arrange them in a round pattern on a serving platter with the bowl of dip in the middle. Enjoy!
