Peaceful Pie

Well, in the spirit of using local ingredients and eating down, I concocted this strange and tasty pie. This crust is a great use of leftover rice. We picked up some grapes at the farmers market in nanaimo and apples from the family's orchard.

Combine and mash in a food processor:

3 cups cooked rice
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup vanilla soymilk

Press 2/3 of mixture into pie pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until firm.

Combine in the pie pan:

1 pound seedless grapes
2 to 3 chopped apples
1/4 cup sugar

Cover with remaining rice mixture (like a crumble).

Bake in the oven until all fruit is soft. You may need to cover it initially to prevent burning of the crumble. Remove when crumble is golden and fruit is soft, approximately 25 to 35 minutes.

Nice served with yogurt, ice cream or fresh cream.
