No-bake vegan apple pie

Course Dessert
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups raw sunflower seeds
  • 1 cups raisins, divided
  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1-2 tsp agave nectar (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, pulse the sunflower seeds and 1/2 cup of the raisins until finely ground. Optionally, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of raw agave nectar to help the mixture stick together a bit more, and pulse a few more times.
  • Press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of a pie pan, reserving the last third for the topping.
    Place the pan in the freezer to firm up.
  • Meanwhile, place the apple slices in a large bowl and set aside.
    Using a food processor, blend the remaining half cup of raisins, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of water until smooth. My mixture never really got smooth – it was still kind of lumpy, but I probably didn’t blend it long enough. Didn’t seem to matter, though.
  • Pour the raisin mixture over the apple slices, gently stirring until well coated.
  • Remove the pie crust from the freezer and, working in circles from the outside in, layer the coated apple slices over the crust.
  • Sprinkle some of the remaining crust mixture over the apple slices.
    It can be helpful to let the pie firm up in the freezer a bit before attempting to slice, as it can get a little messy.
