Instructions
- Prepare your equipment and ingredients. Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment paper.
- Combine apricots and nuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
- Add the desiccated coconut, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until sticky.
- Process until the mixture forms a cohesive mass, adding water or more sweetener if needed.

- Optional: Roll the balls in extra coconut for added texture.
- Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the balls.

For a nut-free option, substitute nuts with roasted pumpkin seeds or a mixture of sunflower seeds and roasted chickpeas. The recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be adjusted for sweetness based on the apricots used.
