Hosting this holiday season means serving dishes that don’t just taste amazing, but also make everyone feel good. This comforting apple pie with prunes is delicious, nourishing and gives that extra boost of fiber we all need right now ❤️ 🥧

FULL RECIPE:
Apple & Prune Crumble Pie

Crust: 
• 1 store bought crust of your choosing!  Just keep a little extra flour around for dusting.

Filling:
• 6–10 pitted Sunsweet Amaz!n Prunes
• 3–4 apples, sliced
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ cup flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• Juice of 1 lime or lemon

Quick tip: Soak the prunes first in your liquor of choice or warm water with a splash of vanilla. 10 minutes if you're in a rush, up to 2 hours if you have time. Drain and chop.

Crumble:
• 150 g all-purpose flour
• 150 g sugar (white, brown, or a mix)
• 6 tbsp butter
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon

How to make it:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Roll out the pie crust, place it in your mold, and bake it for 15 minutes.
3. In a pan, mix the apples, soaked prunes, sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, and citrus juice and cook four about 10 minutes or until everything is melted. Pour the filling into the pre baked crust.
4. Mix all the crumble ingredients with your hands or a fork until crumbly and sprinkle on top of your pie. 
5. Bake again at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
6. Let it sit for at least an hour before slicing

Baking with the whole family is one of our favorite holiday traditions. It’s so fun to get the little ones in on the fun 🍪 This year, we’re making this delicious Sticky Date Cake with our Sunsweet Dates. Happy holidays everybody! 

FULL RECIPE:

**CAKE INGREDIENTS**
* 8 oz Sunsweet pitted dates
* 1 cup milk
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 4 oz unsalted butter, room temp
* ½ cup brown sugar
* 2 large eggs, room temp
* 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
* 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* Pinch of salt

**TOFFEE GLAZE INGREDIENTS**
* 1 cup dark brown sugar
* 3 tbsp white sugar
* 3 tbsp butter
* ¾ cup heavy cream
* 2 tsp vanilla extract
* Pinch of salt

**INSTRUCTIONS**
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy removal.
2. Chop dates and place in a bowl with baking soda. Pour hot milk over, stir, and soak 10 minutes to soften.
3. While dates soak, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
4. Mash date mixture with a potato masher until mostly smooth and paste-like.
5. Add butter and brown sugar to date paste and mix until well combined.
6. Add eggs and vanilla; mix on low until incorporated.
7. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix on low until mostly smooth; small lumps are fine.
8. Pour batter into pan and bake 30 minutes. Test with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Bake 2-minute increments if needed.
9. While cake bakes, combine all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir and simmer over medium heat 5–6 minutes.
10. Once sugars dissolve and sauce loosens, remove from heat and set aside; it will thicken as it cools.
