Autumn Delight Recipes
I've got Autumn treats and a super cute visitor to share today! I've made Raw Apple Crumble twice in the past month . I love this dessert when apples are in season. I like to serve it with a hearty scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and caramel sauce on top but when I want something fast I leave it plain. I use my favorite crumble topping along with a simple mixture of apples, dates, and cinnamon.
Crumble
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup pitted, packed dates
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup ground oat groats
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
In a food processor, grind all ingredients together into a crumbly, yet moist texture.
If you want the mixture to press together a bit better, add 1-2 teaspoons of water.
Evenly spread the crumble over the filling.
Apple Filling
6 large apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
4-6 medjool dates
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Dash of sea salt
In a food processor pulse 4 of the apples into small chunks and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Process the remaining 2 apples with the dates, cinnamon and salt, until smooth (like applesauce).
Mix both together and spread into the bottom of a 9x9" pan.
Sprinkle the crumble on top.
One of my favorites, Cinnamon Marshmallow Mousse, was on the menu recently too! I drizzled it with chocolate sauce and an extra dash of cinnamon. Yum yum! Perfect for this time of year.
Cinnamon Marshmallow Mousse
1 cup irish moss gel*
3/4 cup cashews
6 tablespoons water
6 drops stevia
5 tablespoons coconut nectar or maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon lecithin powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Seeds of 1/2 vanilla bean
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
Pinch of himalayan salt
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Blend all but the coconut oil, until smooth and creamy in a high speed blender.
Add the oil and blend to incorporate.
Spoon into ramekins or dessert bowls and chill in the fridge until set (minimum of a few hours).
Or garnish with chunky coconut flakes and cinnamon!
Lemon Berry Swirl Cheesecakes with Berry Jelly were recently served up as part of a catering gig.
This little guy sauntered through my yard last week... adorable eh?! I got super close to take photos. He didn't seem bothered by me but then again he has some darn good protection!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians! I hope you're enjoying the same magnificent weather that we are.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm in Michigan, which is practically Canada ... I think I should celebrate both Thanksgivings!
Everything looks amazing!
Thank you all, it was a magnificent thanksgiving up here. Hope you had the same!
hmmm these look fantastic!
the apple crumble looks yummy! I'm planning on trying that recipe out in the next couple of days. I was just wondering with leftover, how long is it good for? Since it's raw, does the apple filling turn color pretty quick?
Susan, this will keep about about 6 days. Delicious after a day or 2 as the flavors meld together.
