a recipe by Jennifer Cornbleet

ingredients

  • 4 apples, peeled and thinly sliced ($3.00)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ($.50)
  • 1/2 cup pitted medjool dates, soaked in water for 10 minutes and drained ($1.00)
  • 1/2 cup raisins, soaked, soaked in water for 10 minutes and drained ($.50)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups crumble topping (see recipe below)

This is a recipe from Jennifer Cornbleet’s Revised Edition of Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People. I love this book. It’s among the best out there for doable raw food. The recipes are simple but delicious, and Jenny has super easy and clear instructions. Look out below for a chance to win your own copy!

Thinly slice 2 of the apples and chop the remaining 2 apples. Put the sliced apples and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Toss gently and set aside. Put the chopped apples, dates, raisins, cinnamon, and remaining tablespoon of lemon juice in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process until smooth. Add to the sliced apples, stirring until well combined.

To assemble the crisp, press 1/2 cup of the topping (see below) into an even layer in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Spread the apple filling on top using a rubber spatula. With your hands, knead pieces of the remaining 1 1/2 cups of topping until they stick together. Lay these pieces of topping on the filling to form a cobbled appearance, allowing some of the filling to peek through. Serve chilled, at room temperature, or warm (see warming option). Cover with plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator, Apple Crisp will keep for 3 days.

crumble topping

  • 2 cups raw walnuts or pecans ($4.00)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut ($1.00)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins, unsoaked ($1.00)
  • 8 medjool dates, unsoaked ($.80)
  • 1/2 cup whole cane sugar or maple sugar (optional, for a sweeter topping)

Place the walnuts, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a food processor fitted with an S blade and process until coarsely ground. Add the raisins and dates and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and begins to stick together. Don’t over process. Add the optional whole cane sugar and process briefly. Store in a sealed container. Crumb Topping will keep for one month in the refrigerator or three months in the freezer.

Warming option: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Turn off the oven, insert the crisp, and warm for 15 minutes. Alternatively, heat for 30 minutes in a food dehydrator set at 105 degrees F.

  62. I don't have many raw books – just a few my amy pho (sp?). this one looks good – especially that it's for 1 or 2 ppl

  63. I own zero raw foods books.
    While I like eating raw foods – I guess I've never actually "made" anything except veggie sticks.

    This would be a great introduction to actual "food"

  65. Pick me pick me! I'm just a lowly student who loves simple (and gourmet!) raw food. Would love a book to give me some actual recipes rather than just relying on intuition..and your blog of course! Thanks for hosting this generous giveaway πŸ™‚

  78. Love this book in the original! It helped me change my life! I had so many health issues and couldn't figure out how to go raw. I went from being in bed to being on the go between eating raw and adding other healthy things to my life. Thank you!!

  81. This is the bomb! Honest & just plain good food – that's the way it's meant to be!

    Sarah

  92. What a yummy treat! Can't wait to make this tomorrow after we harvest the apple tree in our yard. And the cookbook looks awesome- recently had to go alkaline vegan due to health problems. Eating raw has been delicious but super expensive, I need all the help I can get!

  98. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe…three of my favorite ingredients, apples, medjool dates and cinnamon all together give me sheer joy! Cheers!

  110. This recipe book would absolutely be perfect for my husband and I since we just ordered a 21-day cleanse. Thank you in advance!

  111. OOOOOOhhhhhhh apple crisp, I love it. RAW apple crisp-can't beat that! I love the new picture on the top of the blog. Looks great.
    Peace & Raw Health,
    Elizabeth

  122. This apple crisp recipe is just in the nick of time! I have a big bunch of apples that I am staring at in the kitchen. Wondering what to do! This is perfect. Thanks! The book looks great!

  123. I used to make apple crisp for my husband all the time. It's one of his favorites. But that was years ago. Since we're eating more raw, I've avoided making any baked desserts whatsoever.

    Thus, this raw apple crisp recipe is extra special for us; thank you, Jennifer. I would love to be the winner of your book!

  132. Lisa, I'm eating so much more raw food now – really getting into it and feeling great! Hope all is going well with your family.

  134. I love reading your blog. And the book sounds great too.

  137. Hoping to get my "raw" act together and Jenny is breaking it down for this lazy gal (and proud of it, thank you very much!)

  143. I am SO curious what the broth-noodle soup is from the book cover…
    Care to share what it is? (Not the whole recipe, just the general idea)

  147. This recipe sounds really yummy! I'd love to win this book too πŸ™‚

  149. Yummy recipe, thanks so much for all the work you do! Would love the chance to win the book to learn how to cook for my boyfriend (he's open to raw just want to make sure it's as tasty and nutitious as possible).

  164. I love Jennifer's books. She's a great chef, a great author and a terrific presenter. She has supported Veggie Fest Chicagoland twice by sharing her time and talents with us! I'd love to own another one of her books!

  165. I've been following a high raw lifestyle for almost 3 years now and have never heard of Jennifer! How did I miss out? This recipe looks delicious. I am going to make it tomorrow for my daughter who is coming home from college for Fall break.

  168. Jennifer's recipes are very appealing. I prepared the apple crisp for my family and they were amazed to find out that it was raw. I would love to win a copy of the book so that my family can experience the benefits of healthy, nutritious raw foods. I would also like to share with my friends.

  169. I am new to being a raw food(aholic). I have my own vege garden and I am attempting to entice my 16 year old son to also share my new love of raw food (he is getting sick of lettuce, tomatoes, kale and carrots). Your book would be an excellent way to encourage me and him to remain committed to a healthy lifestyle with wonderful recipe ideas. Thank you for the opportunity to win your book.

  170. Great recipe from a great looking book. I love the concept of not making multiple serves, as sometimes it's just myself eating raw. While my husband is a vegan too, he doesn't always want to eat raw vegan food like me! Love the raw!

  171. I have just moved from So Cal to West Texas and am living with my sister, where the challenges to eating well are too numerous to count. I REALLY need this help!!! πŸ˜‰

  172. This recipe sounds delicious! And I would love to win a copy of your book – I'm planning to start a partial raw diet in November and need ways to stick to a budget too. Thanks for offering this contest….

    Blessings: Shelley
