Start by measuring out the desiccated coconut into a shallow bowl,

Pop the oats into a high speed blender (I used my Vitamx, which made a very smooth mixture) then roughly chop the apple rings and dried apricots and pop in on top.

Whizz together until finely chopped, then add the cranberries, maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon, if wanted.

Continue to whizz together until everything is finely chopped and well combined. You might need to scrape the sides down a few times before the mixture comes together.

Turn the mixture out into bowl, then take walnut sized pieces of the mixture and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in the desiccated coconut to coat then place on a small baking tray or plate.
