Place parchment paper or a non-stick silicon mat on a baking sheet. Set aside.
Make sure your dates are pitted and moist. If needed, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them, and then drain them before adding them in the next step.
12 pitted dates
Combine apple slices and dates in a food processor, pulsing until chopped and combined and forming sticky crumbs. Place in a bowl and set aside.
1 cup dried apple slices
Combine almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt in food processor, pulsing until you have a relatively fine crumb, free of big chunks.
1/2 cup almonds, 1/2 cup walnuts, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, Pinch salt
Add the date/apple mixture back to the food processor and pulse until it forms a dough-like consistency. If it seems too dry, add water (1 tablespoon at a time) or honey (1 teaspoon at a time) and pulse again to combine. You should be able to squeeze the mixture in your fingers and have it all stick together.
Honey
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon (or smaller, depending on your personal preference) to scoop out the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top of the balls - making sure to let it set completely before storing.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!
