I have been taking raw cooking classes from a lady named Geniel Fife. She will be 80 years old this month, and is amazing! She teaches classes, sells food, (that she makes) at the farmers market, sells in the local health food store and hosts raw pot lucks, where she teaches a demo. Oh, she also has her own company. Last month I dragged Phillip and Elizabeth with me to the pot luck. When they saw the food they were both ready to go out to eat after the pot luck, by the end, they were full and loved the food.
Here is a recipe for one of the dishes that was at the potluck. Cookies that your kids will even eat.
Apple Cookies
2 pounds red apples, cored and peeled
1 cup Agave nectar
1 & 3/4 cups almonds ground in food processor
1 & 1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup cinnamon
I like to triple this recipe for my family, just don't triple the cinnamon.
In the food processor, slice half the apples with slicing disc. Slice the remaining apples with shredding disc. Place the apples in a mixing bowl. Add the agave, ground almonds, raisins, and cinnamon mix well.
With your hands press the mixture into about 20 round, flat cookies approximately 3 inches around. The mixture will be crumbly and wont look like ti will hold together, don't worry, it will. Place on dehydrator using a sheet liner. Dehydrate 105 degrees for 24hrs.
There will be left over sauce from the cookies, I like to mix this sauce with oats, nuts, raisins and coconut. Place oat mixture on dehydrator sheets. This will make a yummy apple cinnamon granola with no waste.
