Recipe Directions
- 1. Place walnuts in food processor. Process into a fine meal.
- 2. Add dates to the walnuts in food processor. Process again until well combined. (You should only see tiny bits of dates.)

The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This is a crustless pie recipe, so there's only one step needed. In fact, I've used crust ingredients, so you get the crust flavor without the added step of having to separate them and make two mixtures.
This recipe should always be stored in the freezer. It should be eaten straight out of the freezer, or thawed for a maximum of 15 minutes. Also, it keeps well in the freezer so it can be made in advance.
If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use dried cranberries or raisins instead.

Hey Ellen! Glad you like. It could be because I didn't process the dates very much, so there are darker flecks rather than an overall dark color. Also, maybe I went light on the cranberries. What do you think?

Yours looks really pretty and light pink in colour, mine came out much darker, taste is great though.

Is there an ingredient missing? The photo makes it look like there should be coconut meat/cream/oil in it too? Otherwise, it would come out darker without that solid, creamy-pink binder.

Raw cranberry apple pie
Greetings from Croatia :) ...absolutely wonderful pie, even though made with dried cranberries instead of fresh!

It looks beautiful! Can I replace cranberry with strawberry?!
The Rawtarian

Hi Amelia,
Great question! Unfortunately, strawberries will be too moist, so you cannot replace the cranberries with strawberries. You could try raisins though, perhaps!

I just made this and it came out just like Laura-Jane’s photo, pinkish white. However, regarding its taste, that bitter taste of unsoaked walnuts almost ruined it for me. I loved how easy it was to make unlike other desserts here (fast to prep and less cleanup time). Because of the walnuts bitter taste, I separately made the raw caramel sauce and poured it on top of the pie before serving, adding a few fresh raspberries too, and then it tasted waaay better not bitter (wink). I didn’t want to presoak the walnuts, which removes that bitterness after rinsing, because this pie was going in the freezer and I was afraid the soaked walnuts would’ve hardened into tiny rocks. Anyway, I made this pie out of sheer curiosity since I never had fresh cranberries, and I wasn’t disappointed but I wasn’t wowed (again, the dry walnuts’ fault). I’ll probably make it again because it’s super healthy and a jolt of freshness in those gloomy, rainy autumn days.

Raw cranberry apple pie
Hey hey from Czech republic :-) Thank you a lot for yourwebsite! And for this recipe also! Amazing (waiting for us in frigerator :-)) But I have one note: I do everything as you said! And the cake is dark. I use good ingredients and I did not mix it too long. I have the same problem as Helena had. Next ti I would like to have nice pink colour. Please, can you give some other advice? Thank you a lot and for taste I mark 5*:-)

Hi Silvie! This is strange! I didn't cheat on the recipe, I truly made it exactly as written so I am not sure what to say! I did take the photo immediately after making - maybe it darkens over time?

How do you get your pie white? My pie is not white. Yours is so pretty and white. Thank you in advance for your help with this issue!

Hi Barb! Perhaps you processed for too long? My white bits are apple chunks :)

Raw cranberry apple pie
I gave this recipe a five star review without even making it and here's why: WOW, it looks beautiful and from what I can tell from reading through all the ingredients and instructions, it would SO work and be SO delicious. Only thing that worried me is that the apple factor might make it brown, but that doesn't appear to be a problem so this is TOTALLY on my to-do list. What a super duper festive treat. Right on. Thanks to Twitter, I just discovered your site and if this recipe is any indication of what's to come... I can't wait to explore further :-)

Bill - I haven't gone through this entire site - but I find that substituting stevia for the dates works very well in many recipes.

Nomage factor. A kind of nougat-y goodness. Love the freshness of apple & cranberry with the gentle coconut crunch. Good work on the single date sweetner. :)
