Raw Apple Pie
This my favorite raw recipe to date. It will satisfy any sweet tooth. It's soooooo good! It's a great dessert for holidays. Mmmm... enjoy!
Ingredients:
Cashew Crust
1 cup cashews
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp sea salt
1 ½ cup pitted dates
1 ½ cup shredded coconut

Filling
4 cups of apples peeled and cubed (about 5-6 apples), soaked for 3-5 hours prior in water with a little lemon juice (to soften and prevent browning)

Syrup
1 cup pitted dates
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 cup of water as needed

Preparation:

To prepare crust:
• First use some of the shredded coconut to “flour" the bottom of your pan.
• To make crust, pulse the cashews, vanilla, and salt in a food processor.
• Slowly add the dates while processing until the mix looks like a ball of dough.
• Take the dough out and press into the pan until it is spread evenly.

To make the syrup:
• Blend dates, and cinnamon, adding in the water until desired thickness.

To make the filling:
• Peel and cut your apples into cubes.
• Soak your apples in water with a little lemon juice for 3-5 hours
• When the crust is assembled, strain out apples, pour on the syrup, lightly toss, and spoon into the pan.
• Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Serves about 8.

You could get very creative with this recipe. The crust is soooo good that it could go with just about anything sweet. Play around!
