How to Make a Raw Apple Pie

Just in time for Thanksgiving, here’s a video recipe of Ani Phyo making an apple pie – RAW!

What an easy recipe that can be done in no time. In case you didn’t catch that part at the end – Ani’s tip to soften the apples was to let them sit for 24 hours. Great to make quickly and fun for children to participate as well. Always nice to have a raw food dessert that won’t induce guilt. Also, this really shows how much fun raw food can be, not just twigs and berries, raw food is so full of variety!

We’d love to hear how your version of this pie worked out – did you pinch the crust?
