Crust Ingredients:

• 1 cup pecan nuts
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1 cup seedless prunes
• 2 tbs filtered water

Cream Ingredients:

• 2 cups cashews
• 2 tbs raw honey
• 3 tbs fresh lime juice
• Vanilla beans from 1 vanilla pod
•  2/3 cup distilled or filtered water

Filling Ingredients:

• 2-3 sweet apples
• Lemon juice to keep the apple pieces from oxidizing
• Cinnamon to sprinkle

Crust: Place pecan nuts and walnuts in a blender or food processor, and grind into crumbs. Add the dates and water, and grind some more until the mix feel sticky. Spread it evenly with the help of a spatula over the pie plate and put aside.

 

Cream: Blend all cream ingredients in a powerful blender until the texture resembles cream. Add slightly more water if needed. Fill the pie crust with the cream and spread evenly.

 

Filling: Cut apples into thin pieces, dip them in lemon juice, and arrange on top of the cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Leave in the refrigerator to allow cream to harden and set.
