Combine your dried apples, dried cranberries, and pecans in a food processor. Add any optional sweeteners and pulse for about 30 seconds.

Process on high for about 1 minute until you have a sticky mass that holds together.

Scoop out roughly 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to create round balls, repeating until all mixture is shaped.

Let the energy balls sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature before enjoying.
