Ingredients

Step 1
Blitz 30g of the oats with the dates, ground almonds, almond butter, cinnamon, dried apple slices and a pinch of salt until roughly chopped.
Step 2
Once the mix begins to clump together, grate in the fresh apple – skin and all – then add the remaining oats and pulse until combined.
Step 3
Roll into 10 balls and dust with cinnamon, then put in the fridge for 30 mins to firm up. Store in the fridge in an airtight container; eat within five days.
Step 4
These fruity, spiced bites are the perfect addition to an autumn picnic but will also offer a welcome burst of energy on your next country walk.
