How to Make Apricot And Muesli Sesame Balls

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup dried apricots, ½ cup water, 1 cinnamon stick, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes, or until apricots are softened, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat, uncover, and let cool for 20 minutes.
  4. While the apricot mixture cools, toast ½ cup sesame seeds in a dry saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Be careful not to burn them!
  5. Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a heatproof bowl and set aside.
  6. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup muesli until finely chopped. Add the cooled apricot mixture and process until a stiff dough forms. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.
  7. Transfer the dough to a bowl and knead with your hands until well combined.
  8. Roll 2 teaspoonfuls of the mixture into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  9. Gently roll the balls in the toasted sesame seeds to coat lightly.
