This is one of the best apple pies I've ever tasted! My 6 year old is obsessed with watching your videos and making your recipes. Thanks for all your inspiration and positive energy!
me and my boyfriend made this pie for christmas and it was beyond this world, i never knew that a fullyraw dessert could taste better than a regular apple pie wow!
This is why you're the fully raw queen! I love how you share recipes that are a part of the American tradition, it makes the switch to being fully raw vegan so much more simple and tasty! A million thank you's
You are too cute :) love your raw food recipes. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but oh my word I'm wanting to try some of the foods you are sharing. Been wanting to add more whole foods to my diet and less processed foods and less meat. Loving loving all your videos!
I am having girls gathering at mine tonight. So I was thinking to make this apple pie for the girls. It is different and delicious. I made it before and loved it. Looking forward to seeing my friends enjoying it too :)
You inspire me! I added Lime and a little lime zest. I think this is the best desert I ever made. You simplified things for me. I love watching your videos and you have helped me so much! Thank you for being here online!
You are wonderful, great and inspirational! Thank you so much Kristina for what you are doing for people! I have read comments and realized what a nice international community is here! I am myself Russian-Dutch. Love all your videos and Thank you Thank you Thank you! Hugs and Love from Holland!
I made this today for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. He LOVES apples. It was a big hit! The crust tastes just like fig newtons! Was so glad to find this recipe to make him something special for V-day :)
Dates are the sticky component in raw desserts, but if you don't like them you could do any dried fruit you like. You just might need to add water or honey to help it stick together. I'm a fan of figs myself!
I loved your video, so I decided to show it to my Nephew who is often criticizing health foods. Suddenly I felt something wet on my shoulder, and it was him drooling on me while watching the video! LOL
Yum! Probably a bit too many dates for my taste, but I might try this recipe and sub some of the dates in the crust with dry coconut or something. (I like sweet, but wow! that looks really sweet)
Simply amazing. I just finished cleaning up after making the recipe for the second apple pie. My fellas were all over this one...they said thank you. Yum.
I just made this and I'm eating it right now and it's DELICIOUS. This is not only my FIRST fully raw recipe, it's also my first time EVER using a food processor. The crust didn't come out quite like cookie dough - it was more ooey gooey - but wow, this is delicious! I don't miss the sugar AT ALL. I do miss the warmth of a baked apple pie. But if you go into this recipe thinking "delicious apple-date-fig dessert" you will be blown away, and it did taste surprisingly like pie!
I´ve watched this video at least 8 times in the past weeks just to keep my mind wondering how amazing it'd be to prepare once I had my food processor. I finally got one for Christmas and today I've used it on this recipe. I made small variations over the original recipe. I made the crust with dried figs, dates and also dried mulberries. For the cream, I follow the original and also added a banana in the mixture so it gets even creamier. Also banana works pretty good with cinnamon. My only recommendation if you try this at home is dont sliced the apples at the beginning. Leave that task by the end, otherwise you'll end up with a bunch of rotten finely sliced apples. They oxidize really fast,getting darker and tasting a bit like apple cyder vinegar. And I was quite fast slicing with the food processor! great taste in the end, though! thanks!
People can say what they want about fruit or Kristina, FullyRaw lifestyle, or whatever....the FullyRaw life is a life of abundance and happiness and positivity and it's amazing that Kristina is so positive and inspiring. A raw vegan lifestyle can completely change your life and health, and I'm living proof. Thanks for the inspiration, Kristina! Keep it up!
Thank you for inviting us in on the challenge. You got 2 of us with the invitation you sent to me. My mother's life has been extended because of the raw diet. I ate close to 100% raw for about 5 months before putting my mom on this diet. I just wanted to make sure it was not going to be too difficult for her. I never felt better in my life, so about 4 yrs ago, I put my mom on the diet. Sadly the stress of life has made it difficult to stick with it for myself. But I have never forgotten how good I felt on it, and have always intended to return to a high raw diet. AND I have ALWAYS loved your bright and positive approach. So, I welcome the opportunity to return to high raw in January, with your cheery presentations to encourage us along. Bring it on girl!
Im just curious about the math here ... Normal "American" apple pie is 3288cal, 457g sugar in 1 whole normal 9" pie (~411cal/slice). This "healthy" alternative packs in 5572 cals, 1192g sugar in the same diameter pie (this is using the less 3lbs of dates, if you use 4lbs add another 414 calories/93g sugar). That means if you cut this raw pie in the typical 8 slices, that is 696cals/slice ... nearly 86% of the calories are from pure sugar. I don't understand the logic here...
It's best to make sure the correct amount of carbohydrates including sugars are consumed per day(probably should be about 1/3 of these per meal). Medical studies show that *more than 80% of the adult population has glucose levels that are too high*. Most of these people are not diagnosed with diabetes, but just by having high-normal fasting glucose (over 85 mg/dL), *risk of death from cardiovascular disease increases by 40%* according to a long-term study conducted on close to 2,000 people. Here's a good article to read, it has an excellent calorie calculator to find out the right amounts of macronutrients for any person. How Many Carbohydrates Do I Need Each Day? nutrition.about.com/od/askyournutritionist/f/howmanycarbs.htm
True, but who says you have to treat it the same as you would a normal pie? If you're like me, stuff like this is a great alternative to the junky versions. You indulge, but you don't ingest chemicals, and you are in greater control of what you're eating. Great recipe Kristina! Seems like for every concept there are extreme viewpoints. I'm taking the middle of the road, eaten this pie, but in moderation...
That’s because there is no logic here, just the dogma that fruit, veggie, raw automatically = healthy. The glucose conversion and insulin spikes/drops are completely ignored. If I ate so many carbs (regardless if they’re from veggies and fruits), I’d have hypoglycemia and need to eat something every 4-5 hrs or I’d be shaky and dizzy.

abraxsis It is still WAY better for you. I tried a raw diet and lost lots of weight fast. My skin cleared up and my allergies vanished.
thanks to this video that my friend shared with me, I´ve discovered the raw food lifestyle! Since then I´m spreading this video among my friends as well! Awesome apple recipe! A great alternative to normal apple cakes for those you are allergic to flour.
I love how in all of her videos she says "are you ready for the final taste?" and tortures you making you feel miserable because yes, you're ready... but you can't have any!
WT? That is about $60 in dates and figs. Also enough sugar to kill someone. I make a raw Apple pie with 3 apples not 10 and about 1/4 dries Apricots (Dates are all sugar) and a handful of Almonds.
+Alice “Alicorn” Ulubabyan yea most people dont realize that. so idk y none of her recipes call for that. even if she doesn't eat it herself maybe itd appeal to a wider audience
Looks very gooey and probably really hard to chew because of all of the sugary ingredients. All of those dates, figs, and apples... this thing is loaded with sugar.
+Noel White Sugar is sugar, regardless if it's from a date, a maple tree, sugar cane, honey, banana, corn, etc. They may be different on the glycemic index, but that primarily concerns those with diabetes. Too much sugar, regardless of where it comes from, isn't good for you. I try my darndest to have a no added sugar diet, as some sugars found in whole foods are necessary for good health, but loading a dish with whole food ingredients that are high in sugars, is no different than simply adding the ingredient sugar to the dish. Your body doesn't know any different. 42 grams of sugar is 42 grams of sugar, regardless of its source.
+GpD79 you are incorrect. sugar is not sugar. There is Simple sugar (from fruit) that your body craves and uses for enery, and there is complex sugar that your body has no medical necessity for. These complex sugars are the ones you want to avoid, but simple sugars were meant to be eaten in abundance!! As far as your diabetes comment, you are misinformed there too. Sugar is not the CAUSE of diabetes, it's the SYMPTOM of diabetes. High sugar is what the body pumps out when the insulin it naturally produces can't reach the cells because they are surrounded by so much fat, so you get insulin resistance, aka as high blood sugar. I'm diabetic and I too was skeptical. But I am following her plan (80/10/10 Raw Vegan) and in 1 DAY, after just 1 MEAL, my numbers went from 158 to 105 just 2 hours after eating 8 bananas!!! lol. This is truly the best plan out there!! I wouldn't knock it until you try it! 😉
+Cyndi M Thank you for your thoughtful response. I do not disagree with most of your statements. In fact, if you read my post more carefully, we are almost saying the same thing. I also never said that diabetes was caused by sugar, I simply was referring to the glycemic index as being something that is primarily concerned by those with diabetes. Look at what I said though, "Too much sugar, regardless of where it comes from, isn't good for you." I am a big believer in eating healthy and this includes eating LOTS of fruits and vegetables. Having said that , this recipe, while tasty looking, is loaded with sugar. Also, as a diabetic, you know that it is not only a sugar thing you have to worry about, it's carbohydrates. So yeah, if you eat 8 bananas, but take away the sufficient number of carbohydrates during a meal, it's an even swap and you'll be fine. Ultimately, we have a different diet approach. I try to have a no added sugar diet, but when you swap out added sugar for dried figs and dates, it's still a lot of sugar. (Yes I do concede that sugar from fruit is the ideal form of sugar to be eaten, as you're not just taking in sugar, but also the water, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients.) I'd rather just avoid all of the "extra" and just have an apple, some berries, or a banana instead as part of my meal.
@@brooklynthebody fruit sugars may not cause insulin to fluctuate as much but it isn't free calories and it all still ends up in your bloodstream. If you don't metabolize it off you WILL gain weight plus this sugar and a lot of the fruit acids she eats will do a number on your teeth if you aren't diligent with oral hygiene.
I bought the ingredients for this pie, but I will make a smaller size pie. I cant wait. I tried a few dried pitted dates and they are sooo delicious. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe.
glucose and fructose are different molecules, but they're both sugars. If you're diabetic, for example, your liver fails to process BOTH. Which is a nice invitation to moderation even when you eat fructose :) If they weren't both sugars, I'd say to my diabetic friend "well have a truckload of dates and forget real apple pie forever!". But the truth is I can't, because sugar is sugar and will always be. Chemistry is science, not a lifestyle or choice.
AleTheHOUSEwife ohhh how the doctors have fooled us....My mother in law is diabetic and she did a 10 day juice cleanse with us which included a lot of fruit during the cleanse she didn't have to use any of her medication! She went to the doctor afterwards and asked the doctor his thoughts in a cleanse and he strongly oppossed and told her NOOOOO don't do it the fruit will be to much sugar..Little did he know she had already done it! FRUIT SUGAR IS NOT THE SAME AS OREO COOKIES your body can take fruit sugar not the other crap ...The industry of medicine has us questioning fruit against cake...Come on now
My blood sugar went down dramatically too after eating a mostly fruit-based diet!! I was skeptical at first too, but your body needs dimple sugars to be healthy.
I made this today! It is soooo delicious! you are right Kristina, it shud be called heavenly pie, lol. My son is a carnivour but he tried it and I must say, it put a smile on his face...wow! thank you Kristina! IT IS EPIC!
I wondered how you got those apples soooo thinly sliced! (I imagine mandolin, which you mentioned!) HOWEVER....How did you keep them from browning??? (Maybe a 6th ingredient...lemon juice?)
I hand sliced these, and it took FOREVER, and after that I definitely recommend a mandolin slicer! :o) Freezing the pie keeps it from browning. You can spritz a little lemon on it, but it changes the flavor a bit.
+joybmassa A tip: if you slice apples and put them in water with just a bit of lemon squeezed into the water, it will prevent the slices from browning...and it won't really impact the flavor. And yes! I agree with Kristina...a mandolin for this recipe! (I found an inexpensive model on Amazon for $16 but it works very well! I also got a cut glove to be safe)
maybe she's "over the top enthusiastic" because she eats a fully raw diet which tends to bring the best in us. You may surprise yourself just how enthusiastic you will be should you eat a fully raw diet, as it is, you can't share in the same spirit with her. :)
It's bizarre to me that so many people have successfully been convinced that fruit sugar works in a way that it doesn't. It's also bizarre to me that so many people somehow don't understand that you're making these recipes for a very specific dietary group. If you were eating more than 10% of your calories from fat everyday, then this much sugar would in fact be a problem, but your diet is very conscientious. Any time I've eaten 80/10/10 and gotten enough calories, it's been so wonderful. You're the only reason I ever get enough calories because you give me ideas of high calorie foods to eat when I run out of ideas.
Agent Khris Knight You can get diabetics from eating this. There is nothing wrong with eating fresh fruits and vegetables, but this pie is filled with large amounts of sugar from dried dates. And yes, you can get can get calories from eating too much sweet dried fruits.
Wouldn't this just fall apart when you try to cut it, with all the thinly sliced apples just sliding around on the filling, with nothing around them to hold them in place? Also, wouldn't this apple pie be really crunchy since the apples haven't been cooked at all?
Jean Kirstein HAHA No pie regrets! Seriously, I am not going to die thinking... Why didn't I eat more warm, gooey, delicious pie? ALL Kristina's dessert recipes are friggin frozen to force them to hold their shape. It's like, why is freezing everything acceptable but cooking isn't? Whenever you cook something, some nutrients will be degraded, but others will be enhanced. You aren't going to become deficient eating a mixture of cooked and raw plant foods for God's sake.
Jean Kirstein I've read the same thing. And after watching more of her videos, she really creeps me out. She's like a raw vegan, super smiley cyborg or something lol.
made this!! delish. sooo sweet and chewy and satisfying. im not fully raw but i love healthy desserts. and if im going to have something sweet ~ fully raw is the best option for me! love these recipes. cant wait to try to the peach nectarine crumble next!!
This was fantastic! Made it into a small bowls, for me and my boyfriend,that was so nice yummy time, I think I should make it every week, I just need to find an excuse for celebrating every week. yummy, yummy,yummy ...
No way ... apple pie recipe made this eazy, with so few and delicious ingredients and without a tonne of dishes to wash .... well this my kind of apple pie! Suuuper recipe, thnks!
Looks so good! I made this when I saw your pumpkin pie recipe at Thanksgiving. I just threw the apples in the food processor with a few dates and spread that on the date crust. Wicked.
So could you, please, try to make a cake without dates?? I am new to RAW and I would like to be able to serve a cake that everybody in my family can eat - one of them doesn't even like dates.

You are too cute :) love your raw food recipes. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but oh my word I'm wanting to try some of the foods you are sharing. Been wanting to add more whole foods to my diet and less processed foods and less meat. Loving loving all your videos!
My favorite thing about this recipe is that it only takes five ingredients!!! Love love
I tried a single portion of this recipe, I'm addicted! It was sooo good :O)
Mix in some chopped almonds in the crust, its all great. 2:40
Mix in some orange and/or orange peel and/or lemon 3:50
YOU ARE AWESOME. Keep shining your light!
YOU ARE WONDERFUL! I will respond to your email when I get home from co-op tonight! Keep shining bright!! Sending my hugs and love!!
I have made this for dinner parties. It was a huge hit. My wheat-free friends are great fans.
Way to go...a nut free crust!!! Looks beautiful, I love how thick you made the apple layer.
Peace & Raw Health,
Elizabeth
I am having girls gathering at mine tonight. So I was thinking to make this apple pie for the girls. It is different and delicious. I made it before and loved it. Looking forward to seeing my friends enjoying it too :)
Baked and you'd have all that warm apple juice and soft apples. THAT is YUM!
You inspire me! I added Lime and a little lime zest. I think this is the best desert I ever made. You simplified things for me. I love watching your videos and you have helped me so much! Thank you for being here online!
Id add a small amount of walnuts and pecans to the crust and vanilla bean to the very top layer of filling.
Walnuts, pecans and vanilla bean are all cooked; not raw.. not like it matters though.
Robo Typhoon You can buy raw nuts and vanilla bean's are dried not cooked.
Alexandra Wolf no such thing as raw pecans... sorry
I'm having a special dinner on Sunday and chose this to make for dessert...can't wait. Your recipes never fail.
Drinking game: take a shot every time she says 'are you ready'
Lmao

Just kidding, don’t do that cause you’ll die

3 to 4 pounds of dates means 1.3 to 1.8 kilograms of dates? That's a huge amount of dates...
I made this today for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. He LOVES apples. It was a big hit! The crust tastes just like fig newtons! Was so glad to find this recipe to make him something special for V-day :)
Can't you do a dessert without dates? It seems like all your pies taste like dates.

LadyAceKitchen Thank you! I do like dates but not in every single sweet meal...besides, they're quite expensive compared to other dried fruit.
***** PREACH!
You could use another dried fruit instead like dried figs or dried mulberries.
Mediterranean girls like dates...
even though im not a raw vegan i love the food that you make and your videos have such a happy positive vibe! i love your energy!
This looks delicious, but it is actually just an expensive date pie, there are so much dates in it that it must taste like a sugar bomb...
I have to nake this pie this weekend!!!
It isn't as sweet as an actual apple pie.
Grandma is so proud of you! Great videos!
I loved your video, so I decided to show it to my Nephew who is often criticizing health foods. Suddenly I felt something wet on my shoulder, and it was him drooling on me while watching the video! LOL
Apple pie ,apple pie- sound so fantastically delicious and I know for sure I will make this fancy cake on weekend,absolutely yes.
Yum! Probably a bit too many dates for my taste, but I might try this recipe and sub some of the dates in the crust with dry coconut or something. (I like sweet, but wow! that looks really sweet)

made a much smaller version , it was yummy!

Is it just me or was anyone else salivating when she took the first bite to that beautifully made apple pie?
It is absolutely good ! I made it today :)) and added some almonds to crust and some blueberries on top. Beautiful ! *****

Unfortunately this video doesn't warn people about the ridiculously high sugar content and should eat little of it.
That’s because there is no logic here, just the dogma that fruit, veggie, raw automatically = healthy. The glucose conversion and insulin spikes/drops are completely ignored.
If I ate so many carbs (regardless if they’re from veggies and fruits), I’d have hypoglycemia and need to eat something every 4-5 hrs or I’d be shaky and dizzy.
abraxsis It is still WAY better for you. I tried a raw diet and lost lots of weight fast. My skin cleared up and my allergies vanished.
this is AMAZING......and my non-raw friends LOVE it too!
the term "epic" should only be used to describe a recipe when at least 2 of the required ingredients are bacon
Caitlin Dion I delete your comment, in the name of Bacon!
thanks to this video that my friend shared with me, I´ve discovered the raw food lifestyle! Since then I´m spreading this video among my friends as well! Awesome apple recipe! A great alternative to normal apple cakes for those you are allergic to flour.

Wouldn't it get boring eating it all of your food cold?

RUS38 What did u mean cause I didn't get any of that
+Charlie Chatterbox Don't worry about that comment you just a little bit young for it. Need more experience in life and knowledge ;)

+Charlie Chatterbox I did. Just didn't know you are still young to understand.
Will be trying this as well. Man Kristina, you really are spoiling us with all of these yummy recipes!!

?what you think a cake from the grocery store is any better
You not only are nutritionally healthy but you sing beautifully.
The whole family couldn't tell this was raw. (we did cheat a little and cooked the apples just a little bit), but they all loved it!
Then it wasn't raw if u cooked them
Well technically if it was cooked under a temperature of 120 f , it is considered raw
+Alice “Alicorn” Ulubabyan yea most people dont realize that. so idk y none of her recipes call for that. even if she doesn't eat it herself maybe itd appeal to a wider audience
I cannot wait to try this tomorrow. I have been looking forward to this since day one. Apple pie is my favorite
Has anyone actually made this? Is it good? I can't see how eating fully raw gives your body everything it needs.
This is a great, original alternative to the traditional apple pie. Nice job. 👍
Love the wooden fork! Where can we get it?
Please see the Rawfully Organic shop online! :) Hope this helps! :)
Amazon is cheaper.

So yeah, if you eat 8 bananas, but take away the sufficient number of carbohydrates during a meal, it's an even swap and you'll be fine.
Ultimately, we have a different diet approach. I try to have a no added sugar diet, but when you swap out added sugar for dried figs and dates, it's still a lot of sugar. (Yes I do concede that sugar from fruit is the ideal form of sugar to be eaten, as you're not just taking in sugar, but also the water, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients.) I'd rather just avoid all of the "extra" and just have an apple, some berries, or a banana instead as part of my meal.
@@brooklynthebody fruit sugars may not cause insulin to fluctuate as much but it isn't free calories and it all still ends up in your bloodstream. If you don't metabolize it off you WILL gain weight plus this sugar and a lot of the fruit acids she eats will do a number on your teeth if you aren't diligent with oral hygiene.
My husband in love with the apple pie! I m in control now; )...! Thanks Kristina!
It is sooooo GOOD. Can I freeze the leftovers ??
I'm sure you can!
I bought the ingredients for this pie, but I will make a smaller size pie. I cant wait. I tried a few dried pitted dates and they are sooo delicious. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe.
Amazing!!! I want to try this!
You're a great presenter and I love your energy!
I will definitely try this raw cake.
I love you Kristina! Thank you for teaching how fun, good and ooey gooey delicious raw food is. Yay!
glucose and fructose are different molecules, but they're both sugars. If you're diabetic, for example, your liver fails to process BOTH. Which is a nice invitation to moderation even when you eat fructose :)
If they weren't both sugars, I'd say to my diabetic friend "well have a truckload of dates and forget real apple pie forever!". But the truth is I can't, because sugar is sugar and will always be. Chemistry is science, not a lifestyle or choice.
AleTheHOUSEwife ohhh how the doctors have fooled us....My mother in law is diabetic and she did a 10 day juice cleanse with us which included a lot of fruit during the cleanse she didn't have to use any of her medication! She went to the doctor afterwards and asked the doctor his thoughts in a cleanse and he strongly oppossed and told her NOOOOO don't do it the fruit will be to much sugar..Little did he know she had already done it! FRUIT SUGAR IS NOT THE SAME AS OREO COOKIES your body can take fruit sugar not the other crap ...The industry of medicine has us questioning fruit against cake...Come on now
My blood sugar went down dramatically too after eating a mostly fruit-based diet!! I was skeptical at first too, but your body needs dimple sugars to be healthy.
WOW.....That's some of the best apple pie I have ever eaten.
I bet this pie cost lots of $$$$
Apple is my favorite, thanks for your recipes.
she sings pretty well
I made this today! It is soooo delicious! you are right Kristina, it shud be called heavenly pie, lol. My son is a carnivour but he tried it and I must say, it put a smile on his face...wow! thank you Kristina! IT IS EPIC!
I wondered how you got those apples soooo thinly sliced! (I imagine mandolin, which you mentioned!) HOWEVER....How did you keep them from browning??? (Maybe a 6th ingredient...lemon juice?)
I hand sliced these, and it took FOREVER, and after that I definitely recommend a mandolin slicer! :o) Freezing the pie keeps it from browning. You can spritz a little lemon on it, but it changes the flavor a bit.
+joybmassa A tip: if you slice apples and put them in water with just a bit of lemon squeezed into the water, it will prevent the slices from browning...and it won't really impact the flavor. And yes! I agree with Kristina...a mandolin for this recipe! (I found an inexpensive model on Amazon for $16 but it works very well! I also got a cut glove to be safe)
Soak them in sparkling water for a few minutes to keep them from Browning without adding any additional flavors :)
you make healthy food look so so gud, its unbelievable! I really admire how you put effort into every recipe. I live it:)
This ISN'T healthy food, it has too much sugar. Eat very little of this.
i don't know why I just find her utterly obnoxious. she's over-the-top enthusiastic about everything, it's like robotic
maybe she's "over the top enthusiastic" because she eats a fully raw diet which tends to bring the best in us. You may surprise yourself just how enthusiastic you will be should you eat a fully raw diet, as it is, you can't share in the same spirit with her. :)
Then why do you watch?
It's bizarre to me that so many people have successfully been convinced that fruit sugar works in a way that it doesn't. It's also bizarre to me that so many people somehow don't understand that you're making these recipes for a very specific dietary group. If you were eating more than 10% of your calories from fat everyday, then this much sugar would in fact be a problem, but your diet is very conscientious. Any time I've eaten 80/10/10 and gotten enough calories, it's been so wonderful. You're the only reason I ever get enough calories because you give me ideas of high calorie foods to eat when I run out of ideas.
Wow I have no words! Amazingly sweet :) I am always looking for ways to make healthy desserts.
loved your pie,just slightly concerned about the after effects of eating so many dates and an extraordinary amount of figs?
I like that you can taste everything while making it. Looks super yummy
Her moans after she taste it makes me feel uncomfortable lol
shes very obnoxious and weird
@@nicolemor She is but I have tried her recipes and they are good. Still full of herself though
I smell a cup of hate and 3 teaspoons of jealousy.
Mind out the gutter
If you think she’s obnoxious then you must be straight up scummy. Vile humans.
Yummy!!!! I've made your fullyraw apple pie a dozen of times :D Mouth watering!
grandmas was better I am sure..
LOL
Me too. Definitely. This looks good but sounds terrible...too much dates!
Until you get diabetes. 💀
Agent Khris Knight You can get diabetics from eating this. There is nothing wrong with eating fresh fruits and vegetables, but this pie is filled with large amounts of sugar from dried dates. And yes, you can get can get calories from eating too much sweet dried fruits.
@@New_Blue_2 whole fruit sugars don't act like refined sugars. And diabetes comes from animal products not fruit lol.
I love dates and figs, and I will try this recipe when I finish exams... ^^ Thank you for the ideas kristina!!
Wouldn't this just fall apart when you try to cut it, with all the thinly sliced apples just sliding around on the filling, with nothing around them to hold them in place? Also, wouldn't this apple pie be really crunchy since the apples haven't been cooked at all?
Jean Kirstein HAHA No pie regrets! Seriously, I am not going to die thinking... Why didn't I eat more warm, gooey, delicious pie? ALL Kristina's dessert recipes are friggin frozen to force them to hold their shape. It's like, why is freezing everything acceptable but cooking isn't? Whenever you cook something, some nutrients will be degraded, but others will be enhanced. You aren't going to become deficient eating a mixture of cooked and raw plant foods for God's sake.
Jean Kirstein I've read the same thing. And after watching more of her videos, she really creeps me out. She's like a raw vegan, super smiley cyborg or something lol.
Jean Kirstein :) Ditto!
What a way to start out my 60 th year on mother earth.
Don't lick the spoon if you're making the pie for other people.
made this!! delish. sooo sweet and chewy and satisfying. im not fully raw but i love healthy desserts. and if im going to have something sweet ~ fully raw is the best option for me! love these recipes. cant wait to try to the peach nectarine crumble next!!
u need an offset spatula- makes all that smoothing inside a container SO much easier. :)
This was fantastic! Made it into a small bowls, for me and my boyfriend,that was so nice yummy time, I think I should make it every week, I just need to find an excuse for celebrating every week. yummy, yummy,yummy ...
DIABEETUS BEETUS BEETUS BEETUS BEETUS DIA DIA DIABEETUS BEETUS
I just made this apple pie this weekend and it is SUPERB! Thanks Kristina.
I'm about to make this now! this is day 7 of me being raw (;
U still raw ?
Yes!
+Aaron Harris U still raw ?
+Lollipop yes! I've been vegan for 5 years on a whole foods diet. Being raw isn't as hard as I thought it would be, and plus I feel really good.
+Rudeascute yes (;
No way ... apple pie recipe made this eazy, with so few and delicious ingredients and without a tonne of dishes to wash .... well this my kind of apple pie! Suuuper recipe, thnks!
love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Love you more!
Looks so good! I made this when I saw your pumpkin pie recipe at Thanksgiving. I just threw the apples in the food processor with a few dates and spread that on the date crust. Wicked.
I think i would love this o.O Since i hate cooked apple pie!
making this pie this week!!! i am so happy to have found you and your videos!
So could you, please, try to make a cake without dates??
I am new to RAW and I would like to be able to serve a cake that everybody in my family can eat - one of them doesn't even like dates.
Is that why they come alone?
@@CitySlickerBallKicker bahhahahaa😂
