April’s Recipe ReDux theme
is “Bars and Bites” and the goal is to create healthy energy bars or bites for snacks,
lunch boxes and quick pick me ups. I am trying my hand a Paleo diet lately (in order to investigate some food sensitivities) so I found this a great
opportunity to try to create some grain free and dairy free bites as a first. These
are very simple to make and require very few ingredients, yet are quite tasty
and filling. I hope you try them out and take a look at all the other awesome
bite-size recipes created by the talented Recipe ReDux bloggers.

1 cup of dried apple rings (approximately 15-16 rings)

1 -2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup (optional, if you like them a bit sweeter)
Directions:

smooth, Form into 14 balls and roll in coconut to coat. Store
