raw apple pie

I have been trying to stay away from desserts, even healthy ones, as I have been working on my weight loss.  For me they are such a trigger food and can lead to my overeating. However, Sunday I was dying to try a recipe I found on The Vegan Pact! This really was a very easy pie to make, and my husband said the crust was way better than any non-vegan crust he has had before.  :)
