Ingredients

  • 2 cups pecans
  • 3/4 cup dried apples
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil optional

Instructions

  • Turn oven on 350°F. Spread pecans out on a baking sheet and cook for 4-8 minutes - until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the nuts. Remove from the oven and allow nuts to cool for a few minutes.
  • Add pecans to the food processor and process for 5-10 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. The pecans will go through several stages and begin to clump at some point - continue to process until you reach a creamy consistency.
  • Add in dried apples, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon and process again until smooth. If the nut butter starts to thicken, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil at a time and process again until smooth.
  • Taste your nut butter and adjust the flavor to your liking.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks (sometimes longer).
