Nutritious Vegan Apple PieIngredients (use vegan versions): crust:
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 cup oats
5 tablespoons apple juice
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
filling:
3-4 apples with skin still on
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions:Put all crust ingredients into a food processor. Process until all ingredients are well incorporated. Crust will be chunky. Grease a 9 inch pie pan lightly with olive oil. Press crust into pan and partly bake for 15 min. Slice apples thinly. Do not peal. Place in a mixing bowl and add vanilla cinnamon and lemon juice. Stir until apples are well covered with cinnamon. Fill pie. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minuets. Be careful not to burn bottom crust. Nuts burn easily. Happy baking!

This recipe sounds very wonderful and yes, very healthy. I am diabetic and am looking for other recipes that will feed the sweet tooth, yet won't have a ton of refined sugars, etc. If you have any other healthy recipes on this site, please direct me to them. Also, do you have any recipes that utilize stevia? I can't wait to try this recipe!

Great recipe! I used less almonds/pecans and added flax seed and soynuts. . . didn't have any apple juice, so I used 5T water and 1T sucanat, still turned out great.
