Going Raw: Adventures in Uncooking

Apple Crisp

I am psyched that one of my friends from high school, Paige, made this recipe to share on my blog! Paige has been trying out some raw recipes since she is interested in eating meals that are highly nutritious. She reported that this crisp is amazing, so I can’t wait to try it myself!

RAW APPLE CRISP by Paige

Sauce:
2 apples
1/2 cup putted medjool dates, soaked
1/2 cup raisins, soaked
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1T lemon juice

Crumble topping:
2 cups raw walnuts, unsoaked
1/2 C unsweetened shredded dried coconut
1/2t ground cinnamon
1/4t ground nutmeg
1/4t salt
1/2 cup raisins, unsoaked
8 pitted medjool dates, unsoaked
1/4 cup sugar *editor’s note: For those of you who want to avoid sugar, this recipe is very delicious without this sugar as well.

It was nice to see how much raw foods my local Publix had. I made a special trip to Whole Foods for the raw nuts, coconuts, and dates, but when I got to Publix, they had the same raw foods at comparable or better prices!

The recipe said to make this like a pie but I just made the crumb topping and the sauce separately. Then as I was packing my lunch, I cut up an apple, put a spoonful of the sauce on and some of the crumb topping. It all fit quite nicely in a tupperware container and kept well in the fridge all day.

Results: Amazing. One serving is just over 500 calories but it’s an incredibly filling 500 calories! Plus I just want to put the crumb topping on everything.

Thank you Paige!
