Cinnamon Caramel Apple Energy Balls

I came across this recipe on Facebook last week and figured I'd give it a try. It seemed quick, easy, and healthy plus Aiden is on an apple kick lately. Since I told him they tasted like a caramel apple, he was sold on trying them and woke up this morning asking if he could help me make them.

They were super easy to make but I had a hard time getting a paste to form so I added a drop (about 1 tbsp.) of honey. Any of my friends that have made these, did you have the same problem? If so, what did you do?

They were really good and did taste like a caramel apple. I'm definitely be adding this to my book of recipes for future use.
