2. Transfer the apple and date mixture to a blender and add the vanilla and salt. Purée until smooth, adding water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Set aside.
3. Place the pecans and coconut flakes into a food processor and pulse to break the mixture into smaller pieces.
4. Transfer the pecan and coconut mixture to a pan and stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. Cook on low heat until the pecans are lightly toasted and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
