A healthy, yet tasty, dessert choice!

Ingredients

2 ½ C Walnuts
1 ½ C Dates (firm, not soft)
3 Apples (tart apples work well)
Juice of 1 Lemon in 2 C Water
¼ tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Allspice
1/8 tsp ground Clove
2 Tbs Honey
½ C Apple juice
¼ C Raisins

Instructions

Remove pits from dates (if they have them). Combine walnuts and dates in food processor. Process until well mixed and ground, but not smooth (about 40 seconds). It should be a coarse texture when done. Press evenly into a 9 inch tart pan. Set in refrigerator while making the filling.

Slice apples by cutting into quarters. Cut out core and slice crosswise in Ľ inch thick slices. Place apples in a large skillet with rest of the ingredients and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently on medium heat. Remove apples then reduce liquid (by simmering) to about half the volume and cool separately.

Spread apples evenly over crust. Brush syrup over apples. Can be served right away or will keep in refrigerator until needed. Keep tart covered in refrigerator so it doesn’t pick up moisture. Top with a little vanilla yogurt if desired.
