Delicious Apple bliss balls

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Adelaide Farmers Market to do a demo on how to make some easy, nutrient packed bliss balls. The Farmers Market is centrally located at the Wayville showground and I can not believe the amount of amazing produce that is available there as well as the awesome vibe from all the people attending.

The bliss ball recipe decided to make was an easy choice as all the ingredients were readily available... there were even locally grown apples that had been dried, ready for these delicious treats!

These bliss balls are quick and easy and with a hint of cinnamon one would think they taste like a warm apple pie.

• 1 cup activated almonds, roasted (I used Willunga Raw Almonds... yum!)
• 20 grams dried apple (Brockhoff's orchard sell these)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons honey (There's a couple at the market that sell amazing honey. There are many varieties yet Jill from Do Bee Honey suggested I go with the Orange Blossom for its mild flavour)
• 3 tablespoons almond butter (you can make your own or buy it already done)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of salt

1. Place the ingredients into your food processor and blend on a high speed until the mixture becomes crumbly yet sticky.
2. Shape the mixture into balls.
3. Place the balls in the fridge to set.
4. Serve. Eat. Enjoy.

These bliss balls are fantastic as the weather starts to cool and the season's change. You can buy, slice and dehydrate your own apple.
Activating nuts is a process whereby you soak the nuts in water over night, drain and then dehydrate for up to 20 hours on 45-50 degrees celcius. The reason we do this is available here
