RECIPES FOR LIFE: RHONDA’S RAW APPLE PIE ***** Malkamus writes: "When I started sharing recipes from Rhonda's latest "HALLELUJAH HOLIDAY RECIPES," 272-page spiral bound book, containing over 300 HOLIDAY recipes over a month ago, I said I would share them till the holidays. Well, the holidays end this coming Sunday, so this week’s recipe will be the last in the series. But though it may be the last, it is not the least. In fact, this recipe is one of my most favorite recipes in the book. It is a recipe for RAW APPLE PIE, and it is a winner not only at home but always when taken to a church function. The recipe is found on pages 205 and 225, and my taste buds say it is “DELICIOUS!” " ALMOND/DATE CRUST (Page 225)2 cups Raw Almonds (soak overnight and drain)1 cup Dates (soaked 2 hours and drained)1 tablespoon Organic Apple

Juice1 teaspoon Vanilla extractDash of Cinnamon In a food processor with the “S” blade, grind almonds until fine. Then add dates and process till finely ground. Add apple juice, vanilla, and cinnamon through the chute while the machine is running. The crust should appear damp and hold together. Add more juice by the teaspoon if needed for good consistency. Wet hands, place ball in center of pie plate and press till an even crust is formed APPLE/RAISIN FILLING (Page 205)5-6 Apples (Golden Delicious or Gala, peeled and cored)1 cup Raisins (soak 1-hour in just enough water to cover, drain, save soak water)1/2 cup Dates (pitted, soaked 1-hour and drain)1 tablespoon Flaxseed (ground fine)1 Lemon (juice from)1/2 cup Coconut (dried, ground to a powder)1 teaspoon Cinnamon1 teaspoon Nutmeg1 teaspoon Allspice Place 1/2 of the apples, along with soak water from raisins into a

food processor, and process with the “S” blade to a course consistency. Pour into a bowl and set aside. Place remaining ingredients in processor, and pulse till reduced to a chunky consistency. Add to the first batch of apples and mix well. Place into crust. CAN/COCONUT TOPPING (Page 205)Sprinkle ground coconut and chopped pecans over apple/raisin filling and place whole pecans around edge if desired. Chill and ENJOY! *ORGANIC INGREDIENTS ARE ALWAYS RECOMMENDED.== carolg
