Apple Pie 2.0

Hello everyone!  Forgive me for not posting in a while, my husband and I recently moved into a new place and we are still getting situated.  I wasn’t planning on posting this recipe, but I had such a great response from my wonderful followers that I felt like I would be doing a disservice if I didn’t post the full recipe.  Thank you for all the love and support!!  I named this Apple Pie 2.0 because its a slightly different version of my Raw Apple Pie Ala Mode recipe posted on here.

I created this dessert for Thanksgiving while I was away in Puerto Rico with family.  Before I arrived, my mother-in-law found some beautiful dried figs and 2 lbs of dates for me…BEST mother-in-law ever 😉  When my flight landed, I headed straight to the grocery store and planned on making a pumpkin pie for dessert, but there were no pumpkins to be found on the warm tropical island.  So I had to improvise!  I saw 3 bags of organic apples and an apple pie popped into mind.  My brother-in-law was on the hunt for pecans and my husband loves his nutty desserts, so I decided to add some nuts to the crust.  If you want this pie to be fat free, omit the nuts or just consume 1/8 of the pie if you’re worried about keeping your diet 80/10/10.

The house in Puerto Rico had only a very basic blender and a small casserole dish to work with, so if I can make it work with limited appliances you can too!  I highly recommend making it in a food processor but where there’s a will, there’s a way!  I was not going to give up making one epic dessert for my husband’s family to enjoy.  I love watching everyones faces light up with bliss when they take their first bite and hearing their comments about it.  They still asked me if it’s raw every time hehe.  Raw food is delicious, healthy and packed with flavor. . .and you only need a few ingredients!
