Raw Apple crumb pie

Oops...Cut a piece before taking a photo.  

Yummy...and it's only apples, nuts and dates.

2 cups of mixed nuts - I used pecans, walnuts and macadamias
5 apples - any kind you like
6-7 pitted dates
1/4 cup of almond meal or flour

Prep: 

Dehydrate 2 apples - Cut into slices and dehydrate overnight on medium. 

Prepare the nuts: place raw nuts in a dehydrator for 6-8 hours to "roast" them. It really brings out the crispiness without really roasting them.


Preparing:

Pie crust: In a food processor pulse together 2 cups of mixed nuts. I used pecans, walnuts and macadamias. Add 3-4 pitted dates. Process until it sticks together when you pinch it.
Press the crust mixture into a glass pie pan.


Apple filling: Use a mandoline to slice 3 apples or slice very thin - optional - remove skin.
Process one apple with 2 dates. Makes a applesauce mixture.
Mix the sliced apples with the apple sauce and place over the pie crust.


Crumb topping:

Place the rest of the nuts in a processor add 2 dates, almond flour and the dehydrated apples. Pulse to until it make a grainy mixture...not too small.
Crumble on top of the pie and pinch some into bigger crumbs.

Optional :

"Bake" in a dehydrator for 3 or more hours on middle.  This will meld the flavors and crisp the topping.
