Healthy Eating | Holiday Love! Apple Raisin Pie
Good morning my Steemian Foodies!
Do you have family traditions? Foods? Gift giving? Songs? Prayers?
Over the years the Bird's nest has been blessed with celebratory traditions through our holiday meals, baking and gift sharing. It always touches my heart when our daughters request special meals or desserts which I have prepared for years.
During this holiday we talked about family traditions. It's fun to listen to their memories, what meant most to them. Thanksgiving day at the Bird nest always included a long walk after eating…go figure! (Just why do we eat so much?) Now that our daughters are grown and have families of their own it will be fun to see them establish their unique traditions.
We were so thankful to spend time with the kids, of course loved the baby time. It’s amazing how fast they start moving and interacting with everything around. I had so much fun preparing healthy food which all the family was able to eat. Gluten and dairy free is the rule! We made one dessert I thought I would share!
This little goodie was a hit with the Bird family!
Gluten and dairy free, no processed sugars and lots of fresh organic apples!
Cinnamon Apples and Raisins with Maple Syrup! How could we go wrong!
So Simple
- Organic Apples (6)
- Fresh Lemon Juice (1 tbsp)
- Cinnamon (1 ½ tsp)
- Nutmeg (1 tsp)
- Maple Syrup (1/3 cup)
- Organic Raisins (1/3 cup)
- Vanilla (1 tsp)
- Non-dairy Butter (2 tsp)
- Gluten Free Flour (1/4 cup)
- Gluten Free Pie Crust (1)
Topping
- Maple Syrup (1/4 cup)
- Gluten Free flour (1/4 cup)
- Walnuts (1/4 cup chopped)
- Dairy Free Butter (1 tbsp)
Slice the apples and toss with the lemon juice and place apples and raisins in the pre baked pie shell. Mix Maple syrup, vanilla and melted butter in small bowl. Sprinkle flour over the apples and pour maple syrup mixture over all. Sprinkle spices on top. Now mix all topping ingredients and crumble over the top. Bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes. You may need to cover the last few minutes! Don’t want burned pie!
Voila, Apple Raisin delight! Great with a scoop of your favorite N-ice Cream!
A true Bird family Favorite!
So glad you stopped by the Bird’s nest today! What desserts did you have during the holiday? I would love to hear your family favorites!
And as always, blessings to you all!

This looks like the perfect pie! We don't actually celebrate Thanksgiving here in Finland, but if we did, I'd like a slice of this pie as a dessert! 😋
