Hi there! How have you been? Things have been a little cray cray in my neck of the woods so I’ve been a little disconnected from the online world, but it’s involved some fun stuff! Last week I participated in a FPMe photo shoot where we went apple picking and horse back riding at Graves Mountain Lodge.
The following day the Free People team came to my house (a total oh-my-goodness experience!) — we spent the day shooting a video and making seven batches of vegan apple pie squares for the Food and Fashion Festival, an in-store event at the new Free People Short Pump Mall here in Richmond.
I met a bunch of EBF readers at the store event so thank you to everyone that came out — I really appreciate your support! Overall the whole experience was an absolute blast. I can’t wait to share all the photos as well as the video with you guys once it’s been edited and ready for sharing. And don’t worry, I’ll be sharing recipe for the vegan apple pie squares soon!
As for this weekend, it’s been pretty dreary and wet here but we still managed to have some fun. Isaac and I went to the farmers market on Saturday morning, I attended a friend’s baby shower (where I won the baby food guessing game), celebrated a friend’s 30th birthday last night and took two Pure Barre classes.
A few weeks ago when I was testing out a bunch of different apple recipes for the Free People team to choose from, I created this recipe for raw mini apple pies.
They didn’t end up being picked as a featured recipe, but they’re absolutely delicious and way too cute not to share with you all.
Plus, now you have a fun use for the raw apple pie filling recipe I posted last week. <– Besides shoveling it into your mouth with a spoon… but don’t worry I won’t judge you if that happens. 😉
These little pies are made with all whole foods and no processed sugar, flour, dairy, etc. They’re raw, vegan, gluten-free and packed with nutrients. And although they are small in size, they’re quite dense and work great for satisfying a sugar craving.
I seriously can’t get over how cute they are! <3
Obviously, you can makes these mini pies for any time you’d like, but I’m thinking that they would be absolutely perfect as a healthy Halloween party treat or a great dessert option for Thanksgiving!
Oh and if you’re looking for a pumpkin pie version similar to these, Catherine recently posted mini vegan pumpkin pies that look delicious and super cute as well!

For the crust, place dates, coconut and almonds into a food processor(affiliate link) and process until the dates have turned into a sticky paste holding the crust ingredients together. Place a layer of plastic wrap over a mini muffin tin to keep the crust from sticking. Using a tablespoon, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture into 12 muffin cavities and press until the mixture down with your fingers until it starts to go up the sides and form a little crust.
Once all 12 crusts are pressed, place the tin into the freezer to allow the crusts to set up while you make the filling.
Once the filling is ready, grab the muffin tin with your mini pie crusts from the freezer and fill with apple pie filling. You will have some apple pie filling left over — you can use it as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, etc.
Freeze mini apple pie bites for at least 30-45 minutes. Allow to thaw 10 minutes or so before serving. Store left over bites in the freezer for up to two months.

I’m eager to make these, BUT I try not to use “single-use” plastic. Instead, I use a silicone mini muffin tray instead of plastic wrap over a metal one ffor making the pressed cups.
I just made these, and oh my goodness they are delicious! My husband swears he doesn’t like dates or anything that they’re in, but he’s devouring these 🙂
