Raw Apple Dessert

I got the original idea for this recipe from a good friend Lara Johnson. I added a few things for my taste. It has a great mix of sweet,sour, and cinnamon!

This recipe is large enough for a big pie, or use a 9x13 glass dish and cut into square pieces. My husband says it's like Raw Apple Crisp without the cream on top. However, you could top it with Raw Whipped Cream!

Crust:
1 1/2 - 2 C. Pecans
7 Medjool Dates, pitted
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
1 t. Cinnamon
1 t. Vanilla

Food process and press into a dish

Filling:
4  Granny Smith Apples, thinly sliced in a food processor OR use an apple peeler/slicer
2 Gala Apples, diced and added to blender
1 C Raisins, soaked for 30 minutes, then added to blender
Juice of 1 lemon (a little less than 1/4 C org. lemon juice)
1/8 tsp. Sea Salt
1 t. Vanilla
1 T. Cinnamon
1-2 T. Raw Agave

Blend the Gala Apples, Raisins, Salt, Vanilla, and Cinnamon. In a bowl, combine apples, blended mixture, lemon juice, and drizzle with Agave and mix well. Add to crust.

Crumble Topping:
2 C. Walnuts
7 Large Medjool Dates, pitted
1 t. Vanilla
Pinch of Sea Salt

Food Process until crumbly and top the pie.

Serve with 

Raw Whipped Cream:

1 C Raw Cashews, soaked at least 30 minutes
1/2 C Water
Juice of 1 orange
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1/3 c. Raw Agave
Combine and Blend until creamy. Drizzle over the top of each slice or piece. Enjoy!

This one is a half batch in an 8x8 dish

If you used the Apple slicer then take my kids' idea and have "apple noodles" with whipped cream sauce.
