Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the chopped almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and hazelnuts.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and stir to coat evenly.

Step 8

Pour the nut and honey mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the filling is golden and set.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
