Add the apple rings, apricots, vanilla bean seeds, lemon juice, lemon zest (reserving 1 teaspoon for later), and coconut oil to a food processor. Process on high until thoroughly combined and sticky, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sea salt, and reserved lemon zest and stir to combine.
Using your hands, form the apple mixture into small balls, about the size of 2 tablespoons, and roll through the coconut mixture before placing on a plate. Once all of your "bites" are formed, place them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to harden. Keep refrigerated before serving, or they will melt.
