I thought I'd save this recipe for tomorrow, but then I realised that we're almost half way through Vegan MoFo and I've only shared one measly dessert recipe with you so far! *gasp* That is just not an acceptable way for me to treat my precious blog readers.
There's another reason why I felt like doing a dessert post today. Spirits are at an all time high at Veganosaurus Headquarters. And here's why...
Yes, we got a brand spanking new power adapter for the laptop today. Woohoo!!! :D :D :D
When you look at the way everyone's partying now, you would never believe the kind of drama that happened here just one week ago.
This kind of mood definitely calls for dessert, don't you think? :) Here you go...
Raw Cinnamon Apple Crumble with Date Almond Sauce
2 Apples - chopped into small pieces
1/2 tsp Cinnamon Powder
Pinch of Salt
* Toss everything together in glass dish
* Cover with a glass lid
* Keep in a sunny spot for sun baking for 3-4 hours
6 Seedless Dates
* Soak them in fresh, clean water for 3-4 hours
1/2 C Almonds
2 T Sesame Seeds
* Grind coarsely in a dry jar
How to proceed:
* To 1/4th of the almond-sesame powder, add the dates and their soaking water and grind to a smooth paste
* Add a few spoons of water and blend into a sauce
* Toss the apples with the remaining 3/4th of the almond-sesame powder to form the apple crumble, and place into individual serving bowls
* Spoon the sauce over the apple crumble
* Serve at room temperature or after chilling for a while
* Enjoy! :)
I had a gluten-free and vegan apple crumble at this cute vegetarian place in Valencia. This date almond sauce looks heavenly and out of this world.

I want to party with you guys. What?! What I come over here expecting Veganosaurus to serve dessert after dessert and I get one MEASLY dessert. That's okay you made up for it with that rad step by step video too.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean *want* to party? Isn't that you, disguised as the red monster? :D
DeletePaaartyyy Tiiimmmeee! Sooo cute! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this. May be then I will stop cooking apples before I eat them. Strange as it may sound, I'm not a big fan of raw apples.
Hehe thanks, Rithika. :)
DeleteI can't believe you don't enjoy raw apples! They're so yummy! Not even in smoothies and mylkshakes?
Could that video be any cuter? I love it. The raw crumble looks like the perfect thing to make on a lazy fall day. I wish I could have this for breakfast this morning.
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)

DeleteOoh, I love this! Simple, delicious, healthy, and another excuse for me to use my favourite kitchen appliance - my grinder. :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha ever since we got our new grinder, it's become my favourite appliance too. :)
DeleteAwwwwwdorable monster videos! My kids loved them! You should do more of them!! I loved the 'how do' video too. Your voice is so sweet! Running off to make this dish! Sounds perfect for our dessert tonight! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Susmitha, how long would this last if kept refrigerated?
ReplyDeleteAkash, it should stay for 4-5 days I think. Chances are you'll finish it before that though.
DeleteYes, I did finish it before that and it tasted amazing even though it didn't get baked properly because of the cloudy sky.
