[a recipe that seems to be from someone who cares about reducing sugar, mentions hazelnut meal](https://ecookingblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/kolomna-pastila-traditional-russian-apple-and-honey-oven-dried-confection/)

I like the idea of doing it entirely with very PNW  ingredients, since [apples](#apples), [honey](#honey), [hazelnuts](#hazelnuts), and eggs all work for that.

One could dip bits in chocolate, of course... but then that ruins the local angle.
