Raw Apple Pie Recipe

I recently found a fabulously delicious raw apple pie recipe that is quite easy to make and thought you might enjoy making it too. I have made it several times and the family has even eaten it for breakfast since it's so healthy! Because it's raw, it is gluten, dairy and egg free. Enjoy!

All American Apple Pie

(from "Ani's Raw Food Kitchen")

Almond Pie Crust:

2 cups almonds, dry

1 tsp. sea salt

2 cups pitted dates

Syrup:

1/2 cup pitted dates

1 orange, peeled and seeded

splash of water, as needed

Filling:

5 cups apples, peeled, cored and sliced (about 5-6 apples)

1 cup raisins &/or cranberries

2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:

Place pie crust ingredients in food processor and process until ingredients begin to stick together. Remove and place/shape into bottom and sides of pie dish. The sides can be shaped in traditional decorative pie edges. (It is helpful to process a small handful of the dry almonds first and then line the pie dish with the crushed almonds...it helps the pie crust not stick)

Blend syrup ingredients in blender, then mix the syrup with all the filling ingredients in a large bowl. Pour apple mixture in pie dish and place the last bit of apples in a decorative way on top. Tah Dah...beautiful and yummy!
