To be honest, the inspiration for this post was thinking about Christmas treats that can’t possibly be made raw, or vegan. It took Google 0.6 seconds to prove me wrong.
There are quite a lot of recipes out there, actually, ranging from traditional to creative. The Vegan Nigerian’s blog had the great idea of using hollowed-out apples for the “crust”. If you’re looking for something closer to a classic mince pie, however, this Nest & Glow recipe looks great. I’ve shared the ingredients below. Click for the complete recipe.
