 * Easy Raw Apple Pie**



Approx. 1 - 1.5 cups of walnuts (soaked for about an hour or so is better than not soaked at all) 4 tablespoons of coconut butter or oil Raisins and/or goji berries (about 2 handfuls) About 2 tablespoons of raw honey Vanilla extract to taste In a Cuisinart really blend up all ingredients until you get a very crumbly consistency. Make sure it has a somewhat oily feel to it. Evenly spread out crust into a pie plate.
 * The Crust**

Apples of your choice (6 - 8 depending on size of pie). This is important… use a Cuisinart shredder or manually shred apples to different consistencies. Use half of your shredded apples in the Cuisinart’s “S” blade to create an almost apple sauce like consistency. Mix this with the more firmer shredded apples to create a nice blend. Mix in raisins or goji berries and also use a generous amount of cinnamon to suit your taste. Sometimes I also use the juice of a lemon or an orange and mix that into the filling as well. Put your filling into the crust and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the crust to firm up.

 * The Apple Filling**
 * 6 Large Delicious Red.Apples

 * Vanilla extract to taste

Soak the pecans and walnuts overnight and process them into small crumbs in the food processor. Then add 2 tablespoons of raw honey, 4 tablespoons of coconut butter, and Cinnamon to taste. Process this, occasionally scraping the sides down until you have a doughy consistency. You’ll want to press this down into your casserole dish or into your pie pan. When you are finished pressing down your crust place this into the freezer to firm up.
 * Crust**

Wash your apples. You can peel them if you like, but I didn't. Take 4 of the apples and slice them. Place these in a bowl. Take the other 2 apples and chop them into cubes and place in the cubed apples in the food processor with 4 Medjool Dates, 3 Tbsp Lemon Juice, Orange Juice and Cinnamon to taste. Process this until it is an apple sauce consistency. Mix in raisins, goji berries, and walnuts. After you have mixed this up and all the slices are coated you can spread this onto (or into if using a pie pan) your crust. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the crust to firm up.
