Raw Apple Crumble

INGREDIENTS

For the crumble topping:

2 ounces walnuts or pecans (about ½ cup)

1 ounce pitted dates (about 2 Medjool or 4 Deglet Noor), chopped

For the apple filling:

4 medium apples, peeled or unpeeled, cored and chopped (about 4 cups)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the applesauce:

2 medium apples, peeled or unpeeled, cored and chopped

2½ ounces pitted dates (4 to 5 Medjool or 8 to 10 Deglet Noor), chopped

¼ cup raisins

2 tablespoons lemon juice

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the crumble topping, place the nuts and dates into a food processor, and process until the mixture resembles Grape Nuts cereal (don’t overprocess; it should be loose). Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. (Keep the food processor handy for step 3.)

To make the apple filling, toss the chopped apples and lemon juice together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

To make the applesauce, place all of the ingredients (apples, dates, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg) into the food processor, and process to the consistency of applesauce, adding a little water as needed.

Stir the applesauce into the bowl of chopped apples and lemon juice. Serve on small dessert plates or bowls sprinkled with the crumble topping.
