Crust: | |
3 Cups | Almonds or pecans or walnuts, soaked 8 – 12 hours |
1 Cup | Sunflower seeds |
1 Cup | Raisins |
1-2 Cups | Pitted dates |
After soaking almonds dry them in the sun for 30 to 60 minutes, or use a dehydrator, or simply dry them with a towel. In a food processor, process the almonds until they are evenly chopped. Add the sunflower seeds and process until they are finely chopped. Add the raisins; process until they are blended in. Add the dates, a few at a time, until the mixture holds together and has a sticky dough-like consistency. Press into 9 inch pie pan. Dehydrate for 1 hour or leave in sun for 1-2 hours or in a warm oven for 20 minutes. Or, you can just use the crust immediately. Makes a 9 inch pie crust.
