Apple Pie

I made this pie for my birthday 🙂

Ingredients:

Filling

6 large apples, peeled and cored

2 ½ tbsp maple syrup

4 tbsp coconut oil, melted

2 tbsp lemon, juice of

½ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1 tsp of zest from organic or unwaxed lemon

Crust

1 cup raisins

1 cup sunflower seeds

1 cup almonds

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ground cardamom

Pinch of dried ginger

Pinch of sea salt

About 4 tsp water

Topping

3 tbsp whole or halves of walnuts or pecans

3 tsp maple syrup

Organic ingredients are preferable 🙂

Preparation:

1. Cut the apples into chunks and blend into puree in a food processor.
2. Add in all remaining ingredients for the filling and blend until creamy consistency.
3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and rinse and dry your food processor to get it ready to make the crust.
4. Now blend the sunflower seeds with the almonds until they resemble of breadcrumbs. Add in the remaining ingredients for the crust and blend again before adding the water. You should now have a nice sticky dough.
5. Press the dough into a pie form and then add the filling that you made earlier.
6. Decorate with walnuts or pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Store in the fridge. Enjoy:-)

Tip: For a thicker consistency, I would recommend adding about 2 tbsp psyllium husk powder to the filling ingredients and blend. It should thicken nicely.
