The most awesome apple pie

We made raw apple pie the other night - it is SOOOOO good!


Apple Pie

Crust

1 cup raw walnuts
1 tsp vanilla flavor
½ cup pitted dates
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt

Filling

6 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced  Six was too many, but we just put the extra apple and filling in individual bowls and heated them up later
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup pitted dates
½ cup raw agave nectar
1/8 tsp salt

For the crust: Place the walnuts, vanilla flavor, dates, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor. Process until the mixture holds together and forms a dough. Press into a 9-inch pan to form a crust.

For the filling: Place the apples in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and 1 tsp of the cinnamon, toss until evenly coated. Place the dates, nectar, remaining cinnamon, and salt in a blender. Add a very small amount of water, just enough to facilitate blending, and process until smooth. Add to the apples, and toss until evenly distributed. Spoon into the crust.

We heated up the apple pie in a 350 oven until it was heated through.

Namarie!
