Karmic Raw Apple Pie

CRUST

• 2 c. Almonds, Walnuts or Pecans
• 1 c. Dates, pitted & chopped
• splash Coconut Water
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon

 

FILLING

• 5 Apples, Cored & Chopped with skins on into ¼ inch slices (I use a mix of apples, make sure to include 1 or 2 granny smith to give a tartness to the mixture)
• 1 cup Golden Raisins, soaked in 1 C. water for 4-8 hours (save soaking water)
• 1 cup Raw Cashews, soaked 4 hours
• 2 TBL. Agave Nectar or Maple Syrup or to taste
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1 tsp. Nutmeg
• ½ tsp. Allspice
• 1 tsp. Vanilla
• dash Cardamom
• 1 Tbl. Lemon Juice

Place cut up apples in a bowl with water to prevent them from turning brown.

Meanwhile, combine crust ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and process until combined into a sticky ball. If too thick add a little OJ or coconut water. Press into glass pie dish.

Place cashews in blender with 1/4 raisin soak water, vanilla, spices and agave.  Blend until creamy. If too thick, add more raisin water. Pour into a bowl. Add raisins and stir by hand. Drain apples and pour cashew mixture over the apples and stir to mix. Once evenly coated, pour into pie crust and chill for 2 hours or until firm.

Garnish with fresh berries, cinnamon, grated coconut or sliced almonds!
