Caramel Apple Rings

A perfect breakfast idea for kids and adults alike. Try setting out all the different toppings "build your own" style and let everyone decorate the caramel apple rings with their own favorite choices!

Ingredients: 1 lemon, juiced, divided; 3 red apples; 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted; 1 inch vanilla bean (optional); 1/2 cup water

Optional toppings: 1 cup raspberries; 1/4 cup raisins; 1/4 cup dried mulberries; 1/4 cup shredded coconut; 2 tablespoons raw honey

Steps:

1. Fill a large bowl with cold water and pour half of the lemon juice into it.
2. Turn each apple sideways and carefully cut it into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Use a small cookie cutter or bottle cap to punch the core out of the center of each apple slice.
3. Place the finished rings immediately into the bowl of lemon water to prevent browning.
4. Blend the dates, vanilla bean, 1/2 cup water, and remaining lemon juice together until a thick, smooth "caramel" forms.
5. Remove the apple rings from the water.
6. Spread caramel along the top of each ring and add any desired toppings!
