directions
- In a medium pot: Add diced apples, 1 teaspoon coconut sugar, salt, and cinnamon, cover, and cook on medium heat just until apples begin to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender, approximately 30 minutes. Be careful not to turn into applesauce. Allow to cool to room temperature before adding to dessert dishes.
- While apples are cooking, in a medium mixing bowl add softened cream cheese, yogurt, and remaining coconut sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Add dates to a food processor and pulse until finely diced. Add walnuts and continue to pulse just until a coarse crumb consistency and combined with dates. Evenly layer to each dessert dish, walnut mixture, cream cheese, and lastly cooked apples. Sprinkle any remaining walnut mixture over the top.
Note: Throw the graham cracker layer after the cream cheese if you like then add whipped cream to the top... again... up to you :)
Note 2 - you can mix these layers up ANY WAY YOU WANT... just ENJOY!!
