This week’s recipe theme is ALL AMERICAN So I made an apple pie…raw!! I try to keep most of my diet to raw food – it gets more difficult for me as it gets colder outside! But I don’t usually follow raw recipes. I just throw veggies together and mix up the “sauce” ingredients or I just eat fruit plain and simple. But a friend of mine posts the most divine looking raw desserts (as well as breakfasts, lunches and dinners!) on her blog, she inspired me to try one for myself.
You will need both a blender and a food processor. Because, I guess you can’t put liquid stuff in the food processor or it will seep out of every crack and crevasse..nobody told me that!
For the crust you will need
2 cups almonds-plus a few more for dusting the bottom
2 cups dates
1 teaspoon salt
Put a few almonds in the food processor and line your pie plate with almond dust
Next process the almonds dates and salt until they make a sticky mass. Dump them into a bowl and make it into a ball with your hands, try to form it into your pan shape as best you can-it will be crumbly-press itinto the bottom of you r pie plate.
For the Filling you will need
6-8 apples chopped-or thinly sliced
1 cup raisins and or cranberries
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
Combine in a bowl
For the Syrup for the filling you will need (this can be doubled-I did, because I lost most of it when I tried to make it in the food processor instead of the blender!)
1/2 cup of dates
1 large orange
1/4 cup of water
Blend this all up until smooth and pour over your filling.
Be sure to pit all your dates!!!
This was so delicious!! I even ate it for breakfast the next day and it was even better because the apples had softened a bit.
Try it you’ll like it!!!

Hi,
Apple pie has been my favourite dish, and your recipe also includes almonds, dates and orange adding new flavour.
Thanks for posting

Okay, I’m joining the Quarter Recipe Party! I just posted a super-scrumptious raw mud pie recipe. Go see!
By the way, your raw apple pie looks great!
Wow, that looks tasty.
I guess your theme leaves out my Sorrel Soup recipe that I have to make tomorrow before the big frost hits and wilts my sorrel and chard in the garden. Oh well.
Lovely pictures and wonderful
Raw recipe.
Cheers to Raw
