Paleo Caramel Dip for Apples

I have been trying many different dip options this Fall.  Some are too runny, some just taste "off."  This dip has been my favorite.  It is very dip-able, the flavor is good and it even packs a bit of protein!  I used refined coconut oil so it did not taste coconutty and raw almond butter so it didn't taste almondy.  It just tastes caramelly! 

1 cup dates, soaked (I like mine to soak for at least an hour)
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp coconut sugar
2 Tbsp raw almond butter
2 Tbsp coconut oil, refined
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Place all ingredients into Vitamix or food processor and blend until smooth.  May need to scrape down sides and process again.  Serve with apples.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Vanilla Cinnamon Icing

This recipe went up on the Against All Grain blog today.  I thought they looked great.  We made a batch this afternoon and they are good!  I really liked the icing and think I will use it on other recipes too.
