How to Make Ani S All American Apple Pie

1. Combine the soaked almonds, dates, and lemon juice in a food processor until a smooth paste forms. This will be your pie crust.
2. Press the almond paste firmly into a pie dish, creating an even crust. Place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to chill.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. Pour the apple mixture over the chilled almond crust.
5. Gently press the apple filling into the crust. If you want a more refined presentation you can create decorative shapes and patterns in the filling.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set and the flavors to meld.
7. Before serving, garnish with optional toppings like fresh berries, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
