Instructions
Preheat the oven to 150oC.
Make the base by blitzing the walnuts in a food processor until there are no big chunks.
Add the rest of the base ingredients (up to the dusting flour) and blend again until you have a dough-like texture.
Grease and line a loose bottomed pie tin and roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit the tin.
Make the filling by blending the pears with chia seeds, lemon zest and honey and leave for 15 minutes to form a gel.
Cut the apple into quarters and slice very thinly. Cover the base of the crust with apple and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Spoon the pear gel on top of the apple layer, then finish with the remaining apples, a drizzle of butter or oil and another sprinkle of cinnamon.
Bake in the over for 25-30 minutes until the top is bronzed. Wait to cool before you tuck in!!
