Raw Food Recipe: Apple Pi


Raw Vegan Dessert time, but who are we kidding? This could easily be raw breakfast. Low fat and ready in minutes I'll guarantee satisfied customers whenever there's a pan full (which is never very long).

Inside;
3 1/4 Apples (eat the other 3/4's for a snack, maybe with some nut butter.)
1/2 C. Dried Currants (any fairly soft, dried berry would do and fresh would be best)

Instructions i: Add apples and currants to a large bowl. Set aside.

Glaze;
3 T. Water
1 1/2 T. Flax Meal
1 T. Agave, honey or maple syrup
1 1/2 t. Cinnamon
1/4 t. Nutmeg

Instructions ii: whisk together glaze ingredients and pour over fruit. With a spatula, thoroughly coat fruit in glaze turning over and over. Let stand for at least ten minutes.

Crust;
1 C. Macadamia Nuts 
4 Large Dates (pitted)
1/2 C. Coconut (shredded)

Instructions iii: Add nuts to food processor and using the metal S blade and pulse until nuts are very coarsely chopped. Now add in the dates and coconut and blend until mixture is comprised of very small pieces of each component, the size of large rice or oatmeal.

Instructions iv: 
Fill the bottom of a shallow glass/earthen dish with the marinated fruit. I like to use a glass pie pan. Pack the fruit down a little. Sprinkle the crust mixture evenly over the fruit...

Note:... and if you like you can use something with a flat bottom to pack the crust down. This makes it easier to cut and serve slices if the pie is going to be refrigerated  I also like to serve individual cups that use layering rather than the pie form.
