This recipe has been a big hit at family gatherings ever since I started making it. Most people like apple pie. This apple pie tastes great and is good for you. It has no sugar and no gluten. What could be better?

I found this recipe on Ani Phyo’s website. She’s written a great book full of easy raw food recipes called Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipes. Here’s the recipe for the pie:

Crust

  • 2 cup almonds
  • 2 cups pitted dates
  • 1 teaspoon sea-salt

Syrup

  • 1/2 cup pitted dates
  • 1 orange pitted and seeded
  • 1/4 cup water

Filling

  • 5 to 6 apples peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Making the pie is pretty easy. There is a YouTube video of how to make it. I just have some tips for you before you watch Ani’s video. I buy sliced almonds to use because it’s easier on my food processor. I usually stick 1/4 to 1/3 a cut of almonds in the food processor and grind them up and dump them in the pie tin before I start making the pie. The almond powder helps keep the crust from sticking to the pan. When you make the crust it won’t be all together in a lump like it is in the video. I usually dump it into a bowl and use my hands to mash it together into a ball. It’s very sticky.

Just watch the video. She clearly explains everything else about making the pie.

    What do you use to protect the apples from going brown whilst they are sliced? Is the dusting of almonds on the bottom of the dish in addition to the base mix?

    Hmmmm, looks delicious, & I am sure what she said about biting into “apple & in the center was honey”. Inside an apple is seeds & a core. Geesh she must have noticed that when she cut up those apples. LOL!!

    I mean what she said must have been edited or taken out of context.
