Raw Apple Pie

This is a variation of a raw food recipe I have adapted for myself.

Ingredients
Base
Walnuts or pecans
Dates
vanilla essence or pods

Filling
Apples
Honey
Juice of a lemon to taste
Coconut (optional)

Topping
Cashew nuts
Honey

Soak the nuts over night. This is like sprouting seeds - more nutrients are released.

Combine about equal parts of dates and pecans or walnuts in a processor. Add the vanilla. Spread evenly over a pie dish.

Process or grate the apples. Add the honey, lemon and some of the flesh of a coconut as required.

Spread on top of the base.

Process the soaked cashew nuts with some honey. You want a thick consistency. Spread on top of the apple.
