Are you looking for a super simple, low-sugar alternative to pie this Thanksgiving? Give these delicious caramel apples a try! They are paleo, vegan and raw! Don’t forget that you will want to make the date caramel early enough that it can chill for several hours before you spread it on the apples 🙂
