One of my favorite pies is Pecan so of course I want to share with you a raw version.

Crust

• 2 cups Pecans 
• 1 cup Raisins 
• ¼ tsp Salt 

Filling

• 1 cup Pecans 
• 1 cup Medjool Dates 
• ½ cup Maple Syrup 
• ½ cup Coconut Butter 
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla 

Topping

• 1 ½ cups Pecans 
• 3 Tbsp Maple Syrup 

Instructions

1. Put the crust ingredients in a food processor and process until they well broken down and just start to stick together. Then remove to your pie plate and press down to make a crust. You do not need to oil the pan first. There is enough oil from the nuts so it will not stick. 
2. To make the filling, put the crust ingredients in a food processor and process until it becomes a smooth and creamy mixture. Transfer into the crust shell and spread out with a spatula. Mine was very thick. Gently spread it out to the edges and smooth it down. 
3. For the topping, go through your cup and a half of pecans and pick out ¾ of a cup of the nicest looking ones. I actually used just over ¾ of a cup to cover the whole top, as you can see in the picture below. Then take the rest of the pecans and put them in the processor with the 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and pulse chop until pecans are in small uniform pieces. 
4. Now the big decision to put the whole pecans down first or the crumbly pecan topping you just processed. It will look great either way.
