Pour the hot water over the dates and allow them to soak for 15 mins.
Blend together the dates and warm water, adding more water if needed to make a puree.
Place your date puree into a saucepan and mix in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt, while warming over medium to low heat. Stir often for 8-10 minutes and until thick.
Peel your apples to help ensure that the sweet puree clings to the outside surface.
Then dip each apple, scooping some of the puree over the entire fruit.
