Donna Sergi • December 5, 2018

Have your cake and eat it too! I love this raw apple pie recipe because it’s the perfect sweet treat for the festive season. It’s got the sweetness we all crave, but doesn’t use any refined sugar. Plus it offers a dose of healthy fats from the walnuts and fiber, vitamin C, and potassium from the apples. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
