Summer is strawberry season! This recipe uses strawberries to create a delicious, nutritious cobbler (with the help of NaturesPlus Collagen Peptides Vanilla). And best of all, it’s uncooked…no hot oven required!
Crust:
4 ½ cups dry pecans
2 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
3 tbsp well-packed, very finely chopped dates
Filling:
8 cups sliced apples
5 cups sliced strawberries
¼ cup lemon
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp Collagen Peptides Vanilla
pinch salt
1. To make the crust, fit a food processor with the “S” blade. Add 3 cups of the pecans, cinnamon, vanilla and salt, and process for 1 minute. Continue to process while adding the dates in small amounts. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add remaining pecans. Set aside 1½ cups; press remaining mixture into a 12” x 10” x 2½” pan.
2. To make the filling, combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Evenly distribute on the crust, then crumble remaining crust on the top.
Yields: 12 servings
