Sweetened only with dates, this simple variation on apple pie offers great nutrition alongside the natural sugar. Enjoy a small portion as a treat! For a little creamy goodness, top with a tablespoon or two of vanilla Greek yogurt.
Ingredients
- 30 pitted dates, divided
- 1 cup warm water, divided
- 1½ cups walnuts
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. nutmeg

Directions
