No-Bake Hemp Heart Cranberry Apple Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free)

Make the crust: In a food processor, combine the oats, almonds (or pecans), shredded coconut, chia seeds, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and sea salt. Pulse until the mixture sticks together when pressed. If needed, add a tablespoon of water to help the mixture bind.

Form the crust: Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie pan or tart dish, creating an even crust. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly. Place the crust in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, cranberries, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well coated in the spices and syrup.

Assemble the pie: Pour the apple and cranberry mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the hemp hearts over the filling and lightly press them into the mixture.

Add the topping: In a small bowl, combine the hemp hearts and shredded coconut. Sprinkle this topping over the pie for a bit of texture and extra nutrition.

Chill and serve: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set. Once chilled, slice and serve. Enjoy this no-bake, wholesome dessert!
