Minced Fruit Pie
You won't believe how good this crust is! It can also be used for other fillings, and it doesn't necessarily need to be cooked. I tasted this crust, used raw, in a torte, and it was incredible! Try using this crust for pumpkin, apple, or sweet potato pies. I'd top this with a little of that Cashew Cream!

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Combine nuts and grind until the mixture begins to stick together. Press the nut mixture firmly and evenly on the bottom and sides of the pie pan. Lightly spray the top of the crust with oil. Bake for 5-8 minutes.
Step 3
Combine fruits, liquids, and spices. Simmer gently for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Drain fruits, reserving the liquid.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Step 5
Grind the fruit mixture in a food processor, adding small amounts of reserved liquid if needed, to form a sticky, minced filling (not pureed). Spread evenly into the pre-baked pie shell.
Step 6
Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting.
