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
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 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 :)
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!
what i appreciate about you, Kristina, is that you have everything online and for free. that's true love! keep doing what you're doing. FullyRawKristina
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!
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.
It would be good to put something heavy on the apples for a few hours to help press them down and bind with the sauce.. You'd get firmer slices that won't fall apart.
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.
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!
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. :)
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
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.
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 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! 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!
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!
I am making this for the second time now and really love this recipe. Something I would do differently next time is use a smaller springform pan so I use less ingredients and spend less money on everything.
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.
I made this, I am not a raw eater, but this pie is soo good! I think better than the regular one. I love dates, maybe that's why I love it!!! I did not use figs, instead I used walnuts and little almonds. For the filling, I also added a bit of walnuts. Yummyyy!
Depends where you search... In my local grocery store it's about $8 for 1lb, but if I'm going to a bulk store I found some for $1 for 1lb. I'm living Toronto
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!
A few dates is a reasonable non-excessive serving size, because of their high fructose content, and then you go and put that many dates in?! I know it's for a whole pie but there will still be a lot per slice, and people may be inclined to eat bigger/more slices because they think this recipe is harmless.. when in fact it is not. And for you to say you give your permission for viewers to eat the whole thing is misinformed and dangerous. You're misleading them into thinking excessive diets are okay if you eat "healthy" things. For one, this isn't as healthy as you make it out to be. And two, excess is never a good thing.
Mittens Audrey I agree. It may be somewhat healthier than processed junk in the sense that you know exactly what's in it and there's no preservatives etc. But it doesn't mean it's good for you.
yes, of course it is. Vegetables consist mostly of fiber and water, and fruits are the same but with sugars. In order to get up to energy levels, essential amino acids and minerals like zink you need to eat enormous quantities a day in order to satisfy your bodily needs. Haven't you seen the huge portions she always has? It is purely wasteful as cooking reduces the amount of water, makes the foods easier to digest and increases bioavailability of the nutrients. Fully raw vegans tend to eat pounds and pounds of bananas and mangos for lunch, which is a meal consisting of mostly sugar and water, and is low in other nutrients. They call it an abundance diet only because you have to eat a lot, and they ignore that you cannot consume most foods. Exchanging some of their products with just a handful of cooked beans would satisfy the intake of essential amino acids such as lysine. As a medical student I would not recommend this wasteful and expensive diet to anyone. It is mainly for the upper class who have nothing else to do all day and that can afford to eat for 20 dollars a day.
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 ...
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 think I might make a smaller version just for myself haha. I am doing some days fully raw and some days just a cooked dinner and I was told that I lost some weight. I am not weighing myselfs, so I cant tell but I feel amazing! I feel like I could do this for the rest of my life!
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.
This looks delicious! One thing, though. Am I the only one bothered by the fact that her hair is always hanging down over the food? I was taught to always wear my hair up when handling food because it can get IN the food. Some people might not mind hair in their food. If you're preparing for other people, hopefully you take that precaution as a consideration for those who will be enjoying it.
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)
the pumpkin pie was fantastic but it gave me the worst case of heartburn. I made this yesterday and put frozen whipped up banana on top! So good. My mom loved it, too.
I don't eat dried frequently or even weekly, but for special occasions on something like a pie if it's mixed with other ingredients, I don't worry too much about it. I have fig trees in my backyard, and you can easily use fresh instead of dried if you want. All good :) Hugs!
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!
3 to 4 pounds of dates means 1.3 to 1.8 kilograms of dates? That's a huge amount of dates...

throw some walnuts in the "crust" and i'm game!
Can't you do a dessert without dates? It seems like all your pies taste like dates.
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!
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...
Baked and you'd have all that warm apple juice and soft apples. THAT is YUM!
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
It contains only fruit . That's great!!
yeah, thank God it contains only fruit.
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 :)
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.
I tried a single portion of this recipe, I'm addicted! It was sooo good :O)
I bet this pie cost lots of $$$$
Bahahahaha, my kids saw your solo at the end of the video and now they want to make this pie. Too funny. Your singing did the trick!
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!
Is it just me or was anyone else salivating when she took the first bite to that beautifully made apple pie?
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!

u need an offset spatula- makes all that smoothing inside a container SO much easier. :)
This is a great, original alternative to the traditional apple pie. Nice job. 👍
Being a fully raw vegan has to be insanely expensive!
Not necessarily, these recipes are mostly for special occasions not everyday meals :)
Skye Blackwood Yeah, but everyday meals would be eating huge amounts of Raw fruits and vegetables. Which sounds so plain and depressing
NoodleHead14 not really, I mean you can make raw vegan spaghetti for lunch, and raw vegan Buffalo wings for lunch if you'd like.

You're a great presenter and I love your energy!
I think i would love this o.O Since i hate cooked apple pie!
Incredible - Heaven Sent - Thanks Kristina.
My husband in love with the apple pie! I m in control now; )...! Thanks Kristina!
The worst part about this is the wooden salad fork she uses to eat the pie.
😂
What's wrong with that?
Yes much better to use metal, GREAT for your teeth!
i love this version.
I think I might make a smaller version just for myself haha. I am doing some days fully raw and some days just a cooked dinner and I was told that I lost some weight. I am not weighing myselfs, so I cant tell but I feel amazing! I feel like I could do this for the rest of my life!
Today I am excited. Cause we are trying to make this deliciousness today.
it don't look right but you are one beautiful woman
It looks even better
She is so incredibly adorable. Her energy is contagiously positive and she makes me smile
Candida attack!! :)
Oh, man! I am all over this LIKE A FEVER tonight!
Så flink !!!
You could do the recipes with less moaning and less show!
OMG! I love apple pie!!!! this is just great! eating it raw is much more great!
Will be trying this as well. Man Kristina, you really are spoiling us with all of these yummy recipes!!
Thank you for this pie recipe!! Love apples!
always better to eat healthy fats than fructose
Looks amazing!
looks great, but really expensive!
I cannot wait to try this yummy recipe!
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!
Definitely making this tomorrow! Yum!! 💚
This looks delicious! One thing, though. Am I the only one bothered by the fact that her hair is always hanging down over the food? I was taught to always wear my hair up when handling food because it can get IN the food. Some people might not mind hair in their food. If you're preparing for other people, hopefully you take that precaution as a consideration for those who will be enjoying it.
As long as the hair is raw I am sure it's ok ;)
wow!!! This is really an irresistible one!!! I'm sure my husband would enjoy it with me!!! ;)
Gracias Kristina!!
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 :)
the pumpkin pie was fantastic but it gave me the worst case of heartburn. I made this yesterday and put frozen whipped up banana on top! So good. My mom loved it, too.
I thought you and MR. Doug graham DO NOT promote dried fruits as they leach fluid from your body?? What are the actual RULES you guys make up?
I don't eat dried frequently or even weekly, but for special occasions on something like a pie if it's mixed with other ingredients, I don't worry too much about it. I have fig trees in my backyard, and you can easily use fresh instead of dried if you want. All good :) Hugs!
