Let’s get started with an apple pie sundae, shall we? This naturally sweetened apple pie sundae is what I go for when I’m craving apple pie but don’t actually want to make a whole pie (namely the crust). I learned this technique from my mom (thanks, Mom!). Simply peel and slice apples and cook on the stovetop with a little cinnamon and (coconut) sugar until tender, and then turn up the heat at the end to slightly caramelize. Works like a charm. It’s the perfect way to get your apple pie fix in 30 minutes. While your apples are cooking, roast up some cinnamon sugar pecans. This all happens on one baking sheet – the lazy girl’s dream! Simply roast for a few minutes. Then top with cinnamon, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, and salt and toss. Roast for another few minutes and you have insanely gorgeous, roasty, toasty pecans on your hands. Yum. These are perfect for salads, snacking, or this sundae (I can’t wait, you guys). All that’s left is scooping up your Vanilla Bean Coconut Ice Cream or Coconut Whipped Cream. We’re so close I can taste it. Caramel sauce is completely optional but does send this sundae over the top. Either thin Date Caramel on the stove top with a little maple syrup or go for my Coconut Sugar Caramel Sauce from our Cookbook! It’s insanely delicious, naturally sweetened, and perfect for just about every dessert you can think of. I hope you all love this sundae!

Because it comes together so quickly, it would be totally suitable for weeknights, but it is special enough to be reserved for weekends or hosting as well. If you give this recipe a try, let us know!
