These Apple Pie Bliss Balls are naturally loaded with healthy fats, fibre, protein, omega-3s, calcium & iron, and they taste amazing. They are super quick to make and are a good snack for toddlers and adults.
These are for over 12 months due to them containing dates (although you can give from 6 months if you’re okay with the small sugar content in them, it’s up to you). Dates are such a healthy food with so many vitamins and minerals, however, it’s recommended to wait until over 12 months.

These turned out very sticky and wet for me (perhaps my apple was too big?) I formed them into balls and put them in the air fryer at 360F for 5 minutes and they turned out great! Lightly toasted on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside!
Love how you made it work for you! It could possibly be the apple, also oats will soak up liquid with time. You can always add extra oats if you ever find after 10 minutes that they are too wet next time also.
