In a food processor with the S-blade attachment, add dried apricot, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Process with 30-second bursts, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula if needed. Repeat until it forms very tiny pieces of apricot - it takes about 1 minute.
Fold in dry ingredients: almond flour and Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut.
Process again with 30-second bursts, as before, until it forms a sticky batter that sticks together in your hands. If too dry, add a tablespoon of cold water. If too wet, add more almond flour 1-2 tablespoons at a time. Process after each addition.
Roll batter into balls of one tablespoon size.
Roll each ball into extra Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut to coat.
Store on a clean plate while rolling the remaining batter into balls.
Refrigerate 15 minutes before eating to enjoy their best flavor.
Storage
Store for up to a week in an airtight box in the fridge or freeze for later and thaw at room temperature.
