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 :)

Made this in my "Maya's Weekend Baking Adventures" Loved it. Had to make 2 cakes because I ate some (most) of the first cake during prep :) Def a good choice though! Still got some apples spare so planning on making another cake, or selecting a different raw apple recipe to :)
Thanks Rawtarian

"Maya's Weekend Baking Adventures" sound fun! Hate it when that happens about eating the first batch right out of the dish. It happens to me too - too many times! lol

Can you omit the coconut from the crust I have people that dont like coconut ??
The Rawtarian
Jun 02, 2013
Hi JPS, no you can't omit it since you need that extra bulk. You can substitute hempseed hearts though. Or 1/2 hempseed hearts and 1/2 more cashews = 1 cup coconut in crust

Hi, i love this recipe, but have a doubt, what do you exactly call dried, unsweetened coconut? Is it a dried coconut pulp? I'm from Argentina... Thnks!
The Rawtarian
May 16, 2013
Hi Alejandra, it is used in baking - little pieces of flakey, dried white coconut. Purchased at a grocery store, used to make coconut macaroons, for example. You can buy it in North America in grocery stores in the baking aisle - there is usually a sweetened and an unsweetened variety

Hi Hannah, so glad you enjoyed. I like it thawed for about 10 mins or so. Yum!

I have made this apple pie many times since December, the kids and my husband request it all the time! Because we eat so much of it, i have doubled the filling recipe and it tastes just as great! Even my non-raw-vegan family/friends like this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing it!
The Rawtarian

Hi Pascale, LOVE the idea of doubling the filling! I will do that next time too. Thanks for sharing, great tip as I think it will be perfect for this recipe

Hi there! I made this yesterday & we had it for dessert after a gorgeous raw salad. It was delicious! I had to resist going back for more :-) Today we got a really great deal on "seconds" of pears, so I'm going to try something similar to create a Spiced Ginger Pear Pie. Wish me luck!

Spiced ginger pear pie sounds delicious! I would love to hear your modifications and how it turns out!

I can't wait to make this recipe! Since I am trying to avoid saturated fat when possible, could I substitute the coconut for something else?
The Rawtarian
Dec 23, 2012
Hi Jerrod, normally I would suggest hempseed hearts as a sub for coconut in this recipe, although I bet the hemphearts would have more fat than coconut :)
Jerrod
Dec 23, 2012
Thanks for the suggestion! Hempseed Hearts are actually much lower in saturated fat than dried unsweetened coconut so that works great! :)
The Rawtarian
Dec 23, 2012
Interesting! I never would have guessed that, since hempseed hearts are so yummy and so filling and so greasy in a really nice, satisfying way :)

That looks so good. I am just getting into Vegan and am trying to do a lot of raw recipes. I thought this might be a good one for Christmas, one the family might enjoy as well! Thank you so much!

Hi Chuck, I think this would be a hit for xmas! Just be sure to keep it frozen until just before eating.
