Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 80 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Almonds, chopped
- 100 grams Walnuts, chopped
- 100 grams Pistachios, chopped
- 100 grams Hazelnuts, chopped
- 150 grams Honey
- 100 grams Dried dates, pitted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the extra virgin olive oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie tin. Place the dough in the pie tin and trim the edges.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and hazelnuts.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, pitted and chopped dates, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until well combined and heated through.
Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and stir to coat evenly.
Pour the nut and honey mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the filling is golden and set.
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
