Add dates and keep homogenizing for a while if using a food processor.
If using a Champion, process the dates and mix with grinded nuts by hand.
Add orange juice to homogenize even better.
Spread into a pie pan (glass preferable) evenly to form a crust and immediately set aside in the freezer.
Instructions: Filling Shred apples using a hand-shredder or a food processor.
Place 3 cups of shredded apples aside in a bowl.
Mix in the raisins. The raisins have to be soaked in advance. We recommend soaking one cup. Cover them with water in a bowl. They will almost double in size when soaked, but you can use the extra for other purposes (adding to salads, eating as snacks, other dessert recipes, etc.).
In the blender, make a sauce out of the other ingredients. Raisin soak water is the water in which the raisins have been soaking. The longer the raisins have been soaking for, the sweeter the water will be.
Pour this sauce in the bowl and mix in with the shredded apples and raisins. Fill the pie with this mixture.
Decorate with slices of fruits (bananas, apples, etc.).
Ingredients
Crust: 1 cup walnuts 2 cups soaked almonds 10-15 dates 2T orange juice Filling: 3 cups of shredded apples 1 cup of soaked raisins 1 1/2 cup of soaked cashews 1/4t Nutmeg 1/2t Cinnamon 1/2 cup of raisin soak water 2T maple syrup or honey
