Units
For the Raw Apple Strudel Filling
- 3 organic Pink Lady Apples
- 3 organic dried Figs
- 3 tbsp organic Raisins
- 3 tbsp Coconut Flakes
- 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar (optional)
- 1/2 fresh squeezed Lemon
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
For the Walnut Crust

- 3 dried Figs
- 3 tbsp soaked Mulberries
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Himalayan Salt
For the Garnishing

Instructions
- Peel, core and cut the apples in half. Place them in a food processor together with all the other filling ingredients and pulse a few times until coarsely grated.
- Set the filling aside and start preparing the crust.
- Mix all the crust ingredients in a food processor and process until you get to a dough-like consistency.
- Cover 2 small flat-bottom bowls with plastic wrap; spread a layer of walnut dough on the bottom and press it down well with a spoon, creating a crust.
- Top the crust with some apple strudel filling, create one more middle layer of walnut crust, and top it with the remaining apple filling. Press well with a spoon.
- Decorate each raw apple strudel with the remaining walnuts, coconut flakes, and thin slices of dried fig.
- Cover and refrigerate your raw apple strudels overnight before serving.

For a nut-free version, substitute walnuts with sunflower seeds and almond flour with sunflower seed flour. Store the strudel in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This recipe is perfect for those with dietary restrictions as it is free from gluten, grains, and refined sugar.
