- To the bowl with the dry ingredients, add the unsweetened applesauce, almond butter, and maple syrup. If you're using chopped dried apples, add those now as well.1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 tablespoons almond butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/4 cup finely chopped dried apples
- Using a sturdy spoon or a spatula, begin to mix the ingredients together until it starts to come together and form a doughy consistency.
- If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, gradually add the almond milk, one tablespoon at a time. Mix thoroughly after each addition until the dough is moist enough to easily roll into balls without falling apart.2-3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- Begin to scoop out portions of the mixture and roll each portion between your palms to form bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
