Soak ¾ cup dates in a small bowl of hot water until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Combine ½ cup oats, ½ cup dried apples, ½ cup almond butter, ¼ cup pecans, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and the soaked dates in a food processor; process until very finely chopped.
Roll the mixture into 12 balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 week.
