Raw Apple Pie

I never liked apple pie (or any pie) nor could I understand why people were drooling over Tarte Tatin. Until I created my own raw version out of the blue with some leftover of almond crumble for a key lime pie. So these are only the amounts for one mini apple pie. Ideal for when you are single or alone for the weekend. If you want to show off with friends and family, triple or quadruple the ingredients and have fun creating… and indulging this comforting, slightly warm winter treat.

INGREDIENTS FOR ONE MINI TARTE TATIN
FOR THE CRUST
  • About 3/4 C of almond flour (blend the almonds shortly in a blender into “flour”)
  • 3 Medjool dates (if not enough, add what you need)
  • A pinch of sea salt
FOR THE FILLING
  • 1 Apple (a sweet autumn apple in the cold season)
  • A few TBSP of fresh orange juice (as needed: start with 2 and add to get the batter going)
  • 1/2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 TBSP freshly grated ginger (or 1 TBSP if you want to give it a kick)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
FOR THE TOP
  • 1 sweet apple of the season
  • 1/8 C Light Agave Nectar 
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
START WITH THE PREP OF THE APPLE SLICES ON TOP
  • Slice the apple in 4 parts and slice them up with a mandolin or as thin as possible
  • Mix the other ingredients together 
  • Toss the slices in the mixture
  • Place the slices on a Teflex sheet and dehydrate for one hour at 108°F (or in your oven at lowest temp.)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CRUST
  • Process the flour, salt and the dates in a food processor until you have a fine, sticky crumble
  • Line de bottom of your (mini) pie form with plastic foil (removes the crust easier)
  • Push the sticky crumble into the form until you have a firm crust
  • Set aside
NEXT…
  • Take the crust out and place it on a plate
  • Pour the filling into the crust 
  • Flatten nicely with a spatula
  • Take the warm apple slices out: they are soft now
  • Flatter the slices one by one in a circle on top of the filling
  • If you want the pie slightly warm, let it warm up for another hour in the dehydrator at 108°F
  • If you want to eat it right away, you can!
TIPS
  • You can sprinkle some more cinnamon on top if you wish
  • Or you can make the top look shiny by brushing some of the fluid on the teflex sheet on the apple slices
