Since this pie doesn’t require baking (well, if you have a no-bake or already-baked crust, anyway), it is a perfect last-minute dessert. Plus it’s healthy enough for seconds, thirds, and even breakfast. Not only that, but it has the approval of pie-lovers and pie-haters alike! Feel free to up the spices, sprinkle some granola on top, and play around with the fruit.

Ingredients:

• a pie crust
• 4-5 apples, cored and chopped
• 6 dates, pitted and chopped
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. ground allspice
• a pinch or two of sea salt

Method:

• Process the apples until very finely chopped but not pureed. Stop when you think you have enough to fill the pie.
• Puree the dates with a little water.
• Mix everything together in a bowl.
• Pour into the pie crust and smooth it over with a spatula.
• Chill for an hour or so, or just slice and serve.
