Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like grapeseed or vegetable, or melted coconut oil; see Notes)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
- Sliced apples, for serving (we like Pink Lady or Granny Smith)
Instructions
- Mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, oil, vanilla extract, and salt in a small bowl. Enjoy immediately with apple slices, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
For the oil, a neutral oil is best. While olive oil is a healthier oil, it does bring quite a strong flavor to the caramel (we tested it and liked the flavor better with neutral oil). You can also use melted coconut oil, but keep in mind it does become solid when refrigerated, whereas grapeseed or vegetable oil stay soft.
For the maple syrup, we prefer using Grade A: Dark Color and Robust Flavor.
For the nut butter, you can substitute a creamy almond butter or cashew butter. You can experiment with sunflower butter for nut-free (we have not tested).
