Notes

To make homemade date caramel, puree pitted California Medjool dates with a little warm water and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
If your caramel sauce is very thick, warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds before drizzling.
Swap the peanuts for chopped toasted almonds, pecans, or toffee bits to change the crunch.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; slice apples fresh just before serving.
Assemble the dip without the peanuts up to a day ahead, then add the peanuts right before serving.
Chill for only 15 minutes so the filling stays soft and spreadable.
Try tart apple slices and pretzels together for the best sweet-salty bite.
