Ingredients

SHELL

• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 cup cashew nuts, chopped
• 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
• 1 cup medjool dates, seeds removed
• ½ cup of golden raisins

FILLING

• 2 large honey crisp apples, peeled and chopped
• ½ cup of dried cranberries, soaked
• ¾ cups of dried figs, soaked
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ cups of chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
• ⅛ Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
• 1 large honey crisp apple, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

FILLING

• ⅓ cup of chopped roasted pecans
• 3 tablespoons brown coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil, softened
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

DECORATIONS

• Apples, berries, cashews, chia seeds, dried cranberries, hemp kernels and mint

Step

1.) Start: Soak dried figs and dried cranberries in large (32 ounces) brick water for 4 hours or overnight. Gather the ingredients of the base together.

2.) Shell: In the food processor, add the walnuts, pecans, hemp kernels and spices and pulse until everything is coarse. Add the raisins, dates and vanilla and knead until everything is mixed into a dough. Line a 10-inch pie pan with baking paper with a little melted coconut oil. Press the dough into the pan so that the part rises to the edges to form a border.

3.) Filling: In a food processor, mix apple pieces, soaked figs, soaked cranberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, hemp, flax seeds, chia seeds and salt. Process until the mixture resembles a thick apple puree. Turn the diced honey chips and maple syrup over and spread the filling over the pie crust.

4.) Sugar: Rinse the food processor and add the roasted pecans, coconut sugar and coconut oil. Bottle into a crumbly mass and sprinkle over the pie.

4.) Finish: Put the pie in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight. Garnish with sliced ​​apples, fresh berries, cashews, chia seeds, dried cranberries, hemp hearts and mint branches if desired. Cut into 12 pieces and serve!

Tips

• Storage: Cover the pie tightly with cling film and store in the refrigerator
• Shelf life: 7-9 days in a really cold place, without moisture in the refrigerator
• Soaking dried fruits overnight gives the best results
• Placing the pie overnight also produces the best results

Q&A

• Can I use a different apple? Any solid and crunchy apple will work in this recipe. Fuji, gala and Jonagolds have a similar taste to the original. Granny Smiths and other green apples are wonderful if you’re a big fan of their sour taste.
• Can I use dates instead of other dried fruits? Yeah. I decided to use soaked figs and cranberries for a different taste than the dates usually found in recipes for raw desserts.
• Can I replace the nuts with something else? Cashews can be replaced with Brazilian, pine nuts or macadamia nuts because of their similar fat content and structure. Replace pecans and walnuts with barukas nuts or unbleached almonds (in shell) for the same reason earlier.
