Raw Apple Pie (Paleo)

03/13/2013

People love to think that Paleo means no cakes, no pies, now sweets at all - Wrong! This Raw Apple Pie is proof of being able to live a healthy lifestyle without all-purpose flour and sugar, but still enjoy sweet treats, like everyone else does!
If you decide to switch to a Paleo or even completely Raw Lifestyle, nuts are your best friend! There are great online store to buy them in bulk and simply make your own flour out of it! I NEVER buy it at the store!
You also want to stock up on pitted dates for all your sweet treats :)
Adding some fresh apples to it and you will have y

What you need

The Crust:
1 cup walnuts
1 cup almond meal (grind almonds yourself)
1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice

The Filling:
5 medium apples
10 pitted dates, chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

*Pie stays good for 4-5 days if covered and stored in the freezer

How you make it

Combine walnuts, almond meal, dates and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse until sticky

*if you don't have a food processor you can do it in a blender or grinder too, but split it in two parts and scratch the sides down again and again to get an even texture*

Press dough into a 8 inch pie form and place in fridge

Peel, core and slice the apples
Place half the apple slices and dates in a blender and blend until it becomes thick applesauce
Combine sauce with remaining apple slices, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger in a medium bowl
Fill pie crust with it and place back in fridge for another hour before serving
