RECIPE: Raw Apple Pie (Low-fat Version)

 

 

Hi Colleen,

 

This one is great, we've used it at large RF events and served it at mostly

cooked-food events at well, all with great success. Courtesy of Dr. Tim

Trader and Laurie Masters, with a couple of tweaks.

____________

Apple Pie (Serves 8)

 

CRUST

Ingredients:

- 1½ lbs. dates, pitted (preferably deglet noor or another drier variety)

 

Procedure:

1, Process ½ lb of dates at a time in a food processor with S blade until

they form a ball. Scrape sides of food processor if needed.

2. Press processed dates evenly into a 9-inch glass pie plate.

3. Refrigerate for at least two hours. (We have prepared in advance and

frozen this crust overnight, works just fine.)

 

FILLING

Ingredients:

- 6 Fuji apples (or Braeburn or red delicious), quartered

- ½ lb. dates, pitted (Can be a wetter variety)

- 1½ C purified water

- Cinnamon

 

Procedure:

1. Grate apples in food processor. (DO NOT PULVERIZE.)

2. Blend dates with distilled (or purified) water until smooth.

3. Cover bottom of pie crust with a ¼-inch layer of grated apple.

4. Spread a thin layer of blended date sauce over the apples.

5. Repeat two more times, adding ¼ inch of apples and topping with date

sauce, for a total of three layers.

 

OPTIONS

1. Top pie with a sprinkling of cinnamon. A hint of nutmeg is also nice.

----- NOTE ----- Adding the foregoing ingredients makes the pie wonderful

for most people and not-so-wonderful for long-time NH raw fooders.

2. Add raisins (soaked or not) and mix with the apples, or use as a topping.

 

 

Hope this helps!

[Raw Food] apple pie

 

 

 

<http://geo./serv?s=97359714/grpId=5520395/grpspId=1705015482/msgId

=34764/stime=1191956316/nc1=4776370/nc2=4836044/nc3=4776344> We are having

an event at work, and some of my coworkers are interested

in tasting raw apple pie. I made one for the holidays but I have two

issues with with the recipe that I have:

1. I don't have a binder for the filling, so the filling kind falls out

once it is sliced. The filling is dried apples, fresh apples, and

cinnimon

2. The crust is an almond crust. I would like a low fat crust. I have

another crust with coconut and date, but I don't think coconut and

apples go well.

 

So my question is, does anyone have a recipe for apple pie that doesn't

use a nut crust? In addition, does anyone have any suggestions for a

binder (dates, raisins?)?

 

Thanks
