A lot of you know that I used to eat a lot of Raw foods and that I have recently been transitioning back into it. I need to be as healthy as possible and try anything I can to keep my RSD in check. I think last time I lacked support. A lot of my friends just laughed and poked fun. Calling me things like “Hippie”…ya, tons of support. I am certainly not a hippie, but I truly don’t like the way I feel. Atleast on a Raw foods diet I have more energy, I’m in a better mood and I feel healthier. My pain may not go away, but anything that makes me feel a little bit better is better than nothing.
So, I have support this time. I joined a meet-up class that meets every Sunday. Every Sunday we learn about nutrition and bring recipes to share. It’s like this awesome raw food pot luck! There are some really amazing people up there. People that have even beat cancer with raw foods. I’m not kidding!
So this week I made a Raw Apple Pie. It was easy and cheap! I was so nervous about taking this dish. At the end of the meal it looked like the dish was licked clean! They even had a vote and I won best dish of the night! There were children there and they wanted more! I wish I had doubled the batch! I am sure that this would be a hit with anyone! Raw or not! In fact, I am going to take it to the next gathering we go to where we need to bring a dish.
Raw Apple Pie Recipe – It’s GOOD FOR YOU!
What you will need
- 6 Large Apples. We used Delicious Red.
- 12oz of Medjool Dates
- 12oz Raw Pecans
- Cinnamon
- Lemon Juice
I used a large casserole dish so that it would serve more people. This made for a thinner crust. If you want a traditional pie, then use a pie pan and you will have a thicker crust. The crust is AMAZING!
Take the pecans and process them into small crumbs in the food processor. Then add 1/2 of the dates (be sure to remove the pits!) and Cinnamon to taste. I like a lot of cinnamon flavor. Process this, occasionally scraping the sides down until you have a doughy consistency.
You’ll want to press this down into your casserole dish or into your pie pan. Again, I chose the casserole dish. When you are finished pressing down your crust place this into the freezer to firm up.
Next you want to prepare the apple filling! Wash your apples. You can peel them if you like, but I didn’t. Too much trouble for me. Take 4 of the apples and slice them. Place these in a bowl.
Take the other 2 apples and chop them into cubes and place in the cubed apples in the food processor with the remaining Medjool Dates, 3 Tbsp Lemon Juice and Cinnamon to taste.
Process this until it is an apple sauce consistency.
Then mix the processed apples with the sliced apples.
After you have mixed this up and all the slices are coated you can spread this onto (or into if using a pie pan) your crust.
If you are not eating it right away, then put it in the refrigerator until you are ready. It will be devoured! If you do happen to have left overs then they should be put into the refrigerator and should keep well for 2-3 days.

looks yummy. my sis is on a new RAW diet and has already lost 20 lbs. already texted her about this dessert
That’s awesome!
any suggestions on a substitute for the pecans? Sunflower seeds or soynuts maybe?
I bet you could use the sunflower seeds!
Sounds great. For those of us uninformed shoppers, where would we buy Medjool dates? =)
I got them from Krogers! I have also bought them from Albertsons before. They are with the produce.
I’ve never heard of this. It sounds and looks really good! I can’t wait to try it this Fall!
Heck, this would be good next time I find myself in a power outage too.
This looks really good. What a great idea to make it uncooked. I have not used my oven much this summer.
This looks soooo good!
This sounds so good – I love anything apple!
The sunflower seeds worked! I made it last night and it is really good. I do not like super sweet foods, only the natural sweetness of fresh fruits so this works perfectly. Next time I will try it with soynuts.
So many recipes have nuts,dairy and gluten, which makes it hard when you are allergic to find any treats.
Thanks for the recipe.
Raw apple pie recipe looks yummy. You also took nice pictures. I also have a daycare and will try this recipe for lunch with my daycare babies.
Looks amazing!

I made your pie recipe today. Very yummy! I did make a slight change – I added 1/2 cup raisins and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg. I also put the pie in my dehydrator for about 2 hours at 105. Thank you so much for posting the recipe!
Amazon video has a movie called “The Science of Fasting” that would be very interesting to anyone who has chronic pain. It’s free with Prime.
