Delicious grounding spices with a light sweetness and a tingle of ginger that makes your tastebuds dance! A great treat to have on hand at the holidays!

Ingredients:

3/4 - 1 cup of pitted soft dates ( soak in warm water for 5 minutes if they are a touch hard)

1/2 cup of raw almonds

1/4 cup of dried cranberries

1/4 cup of raw cashews

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves

1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

Sugar Nutmeg topping:

2 teaspoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons coconut sugar

1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

Mix together in a small bowl

Instructions:

In a food processor with an S-shaped blade, add almonds, cashews, dates, cranberries, ginger, cinnamon, salt and cloves.

Process until the nut mixture are chopped and a dough starts to form. Scrape sides a few times as needed.

Once combined use a small cookie scoop or your hands and form a small firm ball.

Roll each ball in the Sugar Nutmeg topping until completely coated.

Place balls in a sealed container in the refrigerator and chill or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Whole Healthy Apple Pie

This apple pie has everything you love—warm cinnamon, tender apples, and a golden crust—but with a healthier spin. The filling is naturally sweetened, the crust uses olive oil for lightness, and it’s easier to make than most pies. Perfect for grounding into autumn.

Ingredients:

For the crust:
2 ½ cups almond flour
½ cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)
¼ cup coconut sugar
¼ teaspoon sea salt
⅓ cup olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
3–4 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:
6 medium apples (mix of tart and sweet, like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional topping:
1 tablespoon maple syrup for brushing
Sprinkle of coconut sugar or oats

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly oil a 9-inch pie dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Stir in the olive oil and 3 tablespoons of ice water, mixing until the dough holds together. If it feels dry, add the last tablespoon of water.

Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie dish. Save the remaining third for the topping (you can crumble it, or roll it out between parchment for a rustic top crust).

In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with arrowroot, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla until well coated.

Transfer the filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. Add your topping—either crumble the reserved dough over the apples or lay rustic strips for a lattice.

Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the apples are tender and the crust is golden. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.

Cool at least 30 minutes before slicing so the filling sets. Brush with a little maple syrup and sprinkle with coconut sugar or oats if desired.

✨ Pro Tip: Bake this a day ahead—the flavors deepen, and the pie slices more easily once cooled. It’s wonderful on its own, but a spoonful of coconut yogurt or dairy-free vanilla ice cream makes it extra cozy.
