Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all crust ingredients in the food processor. Process until the mixture sticks together and the dates are well processed.
- 2. Dump crust mixture into your pie crust/glass dish. Press the crust down firmly in your dish with your hands. (Crust is now done.)
- 3. Roughly chop two apples, get rid of core/seeds. (Leave one apple alone, OK?)
- 4. Place all filling ingredients (EXCEPT THAT ONE APPLE, LEAVE ONE APPLE ALONE) in the food processor. Process until it's well mixed - a wettish mixture with a few small date chunks or apple peel that might not disappear. (You might have to pause and scrape the sides and then process again.)
- 5. Throw wet appley-mixture into a big bowl.
- 6. Slice the last apple into thin slices or small chunks. Throw these apple slices/chunks into the wet appley mixture. Stir gently.
- 7. Dump appley-mixture (wet + sliced apples) on top of crust. Smooth out with spoon.
- 8. Cover and throw in freezer. Ready in half-an-hour!
- 9. This raw apple pie recipe should always be kept in the freezer. (It'll get soggy if in the fridge.)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This is how it works: Just make the crust, press it down into a pan. Then process most of the raw apple pie filling, then slice the remaining apple. Stir together the appley-mixture and the sliced apple. Dump the appley-stuff on top of the crust, spread it out. Cover and throw this raw apple pie recipe in the freezer.
The presentation is "okay" and not something that I would serve to impress a stranger or my boss, but it's great for a family dessert that tastes great and satisfies that craving for apple pie - raw style!
When inventing this raw apple pie recipe, I used Granny Smith crisp green apples. You can use whatever medium/largish apples you have on hand. I do NOT peel any of the apples, don't bother.
Your easy raw apple pie will keep in the freezer for about a week.
Tip: Make the crust first and then the filling right after. (This way you don't have to wash the food processor twice!)
Tip: For the crust, if you don't have cashews you could use pecans (or walnuts) instead for the crust. (But cashews have the most neutral flavour.)
Tip: If you want to get fancy with your apple pie, you could top it with this yummy raw whipped cream recipe. (But I rarely do 'cause I'm not that fancy.)
Tip: You can stir 1 tbsp raisins into the wet appley-mixture like I did in the photo above :)

Hi Tali,
Vitamix blender is for liquidy things (smoothie, sauce, soup, etc.) and food processor is for dryier stuff (brownies, cookie batter, pie crust, etc.)
No, the results will NOT be the same with a Vitamix. You definitely need a food processor, but it doesn't have to be a good one! I have had this one for 4 years and it gets the job done: http://tinyurl.com/avdwva4
To make raw recipes it is best to own an expensive, fabulous blender (like the Vitamix: http://tinyurl.com/b8a967w) and a cheapy food processor (like this one : http://tinyurl.com/avdwva4). They serve different purposes.
Hope this helps!

funny, as all ingredients are 'thrown' into something. i think a better way would be to
say 'place' or put. i picture someone in the kitchen throwing everything around.

Ya - lots of raw dessert recipes get frozen. It's kinda the alternative to baking in the raw world! (It helps the desserts solidify/congeal/stay together)

I like the simplicity of this recipe with it ingredients and the preparation. The end product was very delicious. I made this for an alternative to Thanksgiving dessert and it was a success. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This recipe looks amazing, I can't wait to try it! A few days ago I made a raw apple crumble and the recipe used walnuts and dates mixed in the processor to make the crumble topping. It made for a nice topping/presentation. I think I'll make your recipe with your crust and filling and the walnut/date crumble topping. Great reviews, thank you!

Raw apple pie recipe
My husband loved it! and although he is a vegetarian he does not eat that clean. I am always trying to find recipes that he will like. I found that this gets really hard in the freezer but you just have to pull it out and put it in the fridge on the day that you want to eat it (or maybe just several hours ahead). Thank you Laura-Jane!

Can I substitute sunflower seeds for the crust? I can't afford cashews, I'm on a really tight budget. But I'm fighting Cancer and I want to start eating as much raw food as possible. Any suggestions for which of your recipes are high in calories. I need high calories.
Thanks Sandy

Yes, you can use sunflower seeds instead of cashews in the crust, however, the sunflower seeds aren’t very oily so you might need to add something a bit oilier (2 teaspoons coconut oil maybe?) to be the right consistency.
NOTE: substituting pecans or walnuts instead of the cashews will turn out better than the sunflower seeds will. (no need to add extra oil with these ones.)

I am SO addicted to this apple pie. This is my third time making it...and it barely lasts in the fridge before it's devoured. The hint of the taste of salt in the crust along with the apple...oh, yum! :) :)

This was absolutely delicious! I subbed pecans for cashews. I'll definitely be making this again. The only annoying part is that it takes a while for the apples to thaw out when you take it out of the freezer. And by the time they do, the crust gets soggy. Any tips? We thoroughly enjoyed this straight out the freezer anyway.
