4.84 18 Published Sep 21, 2020, Updated Sep 18, 2024 These little pies are made with all whole foods. There is no processed sugar, flour or dairy. They’re raw, vegan, gluten-free and, you guessed it, packed with nutrients. Don’t be fooled by their small size! They’re quite dense and really satisfying if you’ve got a sweet tooth. Plus… how cute are they?! I love all things mini and mini desserts are my weakness.
Raw Mini Apple Pie Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make these healthy little apple pies:
How to Make Apple Pie Bites
The first step is to make your crust. Once you have that in the freezer to set, you’ll make the apple pie filling and fill the mini crusts with it. Here are more detailed instructions: Pulse Ingredients: Place the dates, shredded coconut and almonds into a food processor and process until the dates have turned into a sticky paste that holds the other ingredients together. This dough is super similar to my date-based energy balls, but instead of rolling it into balls, we’re pressing it into a mini muffin tin to make mini crusts. Form crust: Place a layer of plastic wrap over a mini muffin tin to keep the crust from sticking. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture into 12 muffin cavities and press the mixture down with your fingers to form a crust. Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer to allow the crusts to set up while you make the filling. Make the apple pie filling: Soak the pitted dates in a small bowl with water. Core and chop your apples into tiny chunks. After the dates are softened, drain and add the dates, fresh water, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Pour the date puree over the chopped apples and stir to combine. Fill crusts: Fill each crust with a spoonful of apple pie filling. You will probably have some filling leftover – just save for another use! I love using the filling as a topping for oatmeal. Freeze and enjoy: Freeze the apple pie bites for 30-40 minutes to set. Allow the bites to thaw for about 10 minutes before serving.
How to Store Raw Mini Apple Pie Bites
You can store these right in the muffin tin, but I like to place them in an airtight container after they have set. For long-term storage, you can keep them in the freezer for up to two months. Just remove ten minutes before enjoying to let the bites thaw a bit.
