Apple Pie Parfaits

It is no secret that we love apples, we have them everyday, but every once in awhile we get a little crazy.

Over Thanksgiving we revisited our first raw apple pie stack and made some upgrades!

Pure2raw recipe: Apple Pie Parfaits (gluten-free, vegan, soy-free, raw)

Ingredients:

Apple pie layer

• 4 apples (we used medium-small sized granny smith
• 8-9 dates, pitted
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp raw agave (or maple syrup)

Creme layer:

We have done a few here on the blog, we tend to follow one but not always the exact same way. It just depends what mood we are in and what we have on hand. This is one thing we love about raw recipes, you can play around with the ingredients!!

Directions:

Lightly chopped up apples into wedges. Place all apple pie layer ingredients into food processor and pulse till combined, want apples in smaller pieces (not applesauce texture, haha).

Place all ingredients for creme layer into vita-mix blender and blend till smooth. Or again use any whipped creme of your choice. You could easily just do cashew butter or coconut butter whipped some agave or maple syrup! Or maybe your favorite ice cream.

Layer up your apple pie parfaits!

Twins Self Thought for the Day: Relaxation…allow yourself to be lazy from time to time…it’s okay to ‘do’ nothing.

During this time of the year we can all get a little stressed out and feel a bit strained. Remember to take a break and enjoy the present moment!! Our minds and bodies need relaxation to rest and fuel ourselves for the obstacles we face in every day life. Rest can be just as important as doing!

I know we plan to do some relaxation over the holidays with good food and family and friends

Till next time,
