rawmazing/raw-apple-pie/comment-page-2/#comment-496374 True, sometimes, about inspiration. I am lucky to live just a few miles from a big orchard. They posted on their website, the first apples had been picked -- Gala & HoneyCrisp. I think one of the best rawcipies I ever had was peach cobbler -- where you take peach, pineapple, vanilla, and dates in the blender to make the GOO -- slice the peaches super thin, and assemble. Wowee. (Of course, top with whatever crunchy you want -- or put a crust, perhaps include coconut oil). But the cobbler idea didnt seem to fit for fresh apple. So I thought -- well, heres goes nuthin. I had half a zucchini leftover -- so I used that, a frozen banana, vanilla, dates, a bit of maca & lucuma powder. I did the apple on a MicroPlane mandoline (turns out I like matchsticks better than slices), and I dusted it with some real cinnamon (from Penzeys). LUCKED OUT. So good I made more -- this time a few walnuts added to the sauce, and some berries. I sprinked a little real paprika on the pile of mandolined apples -- and some pumpkin pie spice mix on the other, and drizzled the bare apples with maple syrup. Hmmm. Crunched some walnuts on the pile (good idea) added some broken banana bits, a few small, seeded plumb tomatoes (yellow and red, theyre fruits, too, right ?) -- melted some coconut oil, sauced and sprinkled with hemp seed ! Ah HA ! Ive heard it said its hard to screw up a raw food recipe -- but I CAN do, lol. Not this time, though. Still working on variations -- thought you had a good idea for oatmeal in the goo. Okay this was crustless this morning, but the apples were right off the tree, so, who cares ? Amazing how raw foods can draw ALL of your awareness and attention onto the plate; its as if the whole world went away, almost eerie how you eat the food and float away ! If you ever have variations, be sure to share, okay ? Happy Autumn. I never thought a zucchini and a banana would do it 2 it, but it worked, OMG ! I guess its like when you do chocolate pudding with avocado, they say you wont know theres avocado in it -- same with a ½ zucchini for the goo in apple pie sauce . . .
