Recipe Directions
1. Cut up the apples into thin slices and let the slices oxidize (turn brown and soft) for as long as it takes to make the crust and jam.
2. Combine the walnuts, pecans, dates, and cinnamon to make the crust, grinding in the food processor until crumbly, and press into a pie dish.
3. Make the apricot jam (if you don't have any in your fridge) in the food processor.
4. Combine the apples, cinnamon, and apricot jam in a bowl, and taste some to see if it needs some date paste.
5. If it does need date paste (it depends on your tastes, there's no right or wrong.), mix it in now.
6. Pour the filling evenly into the pie.
7. Grind up the walnuts and dates for the topping in the food processor, letting it get to the crumbly texture of the crust.
8. Sprinkle the walnut crumbs on top of the pie, evenly enough to cover the filling.
Balletomane's Thoughts
By balletomane Like apple pie, but Spanish!
Eat it at midnight in a romantic candlelit dinner. Hahahaha. Joking about the Spanish eating style.

I just made this exactly according to the directions. One question: do you cook it? There were no instructions to that effect, but neither was there any direction concerning refrigeration or freezing before serving. It looks fantastic and I’d really hate to mess it up by not doing the right thing. Appreciate any help you can give me.

No, nothing is different. The apples separated a bit from the jam when it was refrigerated, but that is about it.

I found the apple info in instruction # 1. I was looking in the space where it said to combine the apples. Sorry.

I am making this now. It says to combine the apples, apricot jam, and cinnamon. There are no directions on what to do with the apples. I am assuming they are peeled and sliced thin or madium medium or maybe in quarters??? I will re rate it after we eat it.

Haven’t made it yet as unsure as to wether it is cooked.

Finally got around to making this! Here's the modifications I tried. For the crust: I used half cup of each of the nuts, and around 4 dried prunes instead of the dates. It gives it more of a chocolate look.
For the topping I also cut the quantities in half and still had more than enough to top the pie. This time I did use dates. It's setting up in the fridge now, so I can't yet tell you how it tastes. It looks GREAT! Taste tested, was awesome! Nice to have the contrast with the darker crust on the bottom and the lighter crust on top. I would upload a pic, but I'm not sure how.
Om Shanti
