In a desperate attempt to prepare for the holidays, we are all looking for recipes to make for upcoming parties, family gatherings and special events. A classic favorite is homemade apple pie, but it’s typically loaded with refined sugar and processed flour.
Here is a recipe for a raw homemade apple pie chalk full of nutrients and goodness! Raw means you don’t have to turn on your oven, so it’s once less step and much quicker than the traditional recipe.
This pie keeps for a couple days in the fridge, but you may want to eat it up much faster than this… And why not? It’s good for you!
