How To Make Paleo Caramel With Just 4 Ingredients:

The star of this recipe is the 4-ingredient caramel sauce, made from naturally super-sweet dried dates. Soaking the dates in hot water helps soften them up so they blend into a smooth and creamy caramel when combined with coconut milk.

Once blended, the caramel is heated along with vanilla and sea salt to create a decadent flavor.

This caramel is no one-trick pony, so try it drizzled on top of these Paleo favorites: ice cream, pancakes, cheesecake, and brownies.

Helpful Tips To Get You Started:

• Enjoy immediately. The apples will start to brown quickly, so these nachos are best eaten within an hour of making.
• Plan ahead. The caramel sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Just reheat it in a saucepan until melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Go crazy with the toppings. In addition to date caramel, mini chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts, try topping your apple nachos with any of the following: shredded unsweetened coconut, almond butter, pomegranate arils, pecans, or almonds.
