Spiced Apple Pear No-Bake Star Pies for Birth Endurance Snacks

Hello Momma,

These little star pies might just be the most magical autumn treat. So soft, cozy, and filled with warming spices that taste like fall in one bite 🍎🍐 Made with a buttery almond-walnut crust and a gently spiced apple-pear filling, these Spiced Apple Pear No-Bake Star Pies are nourishing, naturally sweet, and made with simple pantry staples.

They’re especially beautiful to make during late pregnancy or postpartum recovery. The combination of natural sugars, healthy fats, and warming spices makes them supportive for endurance during labor and deeply nourishing in the early postpartum weeks when your body is rebuilding and replenishing. And because they’re pressed into star molds, each one looks like a little celebration of the season ✨

This recipe makes 11–12 star pies, depending on your cookie cutter size.

🍎 Ingredients

Crust

• 1 cup almond flour

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• Pinch of sea salt

• 7 large Medjool dates, soaked & pitted

• 1 tbsp almond butter

• ¼ cup crushed raw walnuts

Filling

• 1 apple, thinly sliced

• 1 pear, thinly sliced

• 1 tbsp raw honey

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• Juice of ½ lemon

• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

🥣 Instructions

1. Make the crust

Soak dates in warm water for 10–15 minutes, then drain.

In a food processor, blend almond flour, coconut oil, cinnamon, sea salt, dates, almond butter, and crushed walnuts until the mixture holds together when pressed.

Press small spoonfuls of the crust into star-shaped silicone molds to form mini pie shells. Chill in the fridge or freezer while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the filling

In a bowl, combine sliced apple and pear with honey, cinnamon, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Gently toss until evenly coated. Let sit for a few minutes to soften and release flavor.

3. Assemble the stars

Spoon the fruit mixture into each chilled crust, gently pressing to help it hold shape.

4. Chill & serve

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Pop them out of the molds when firm, and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

🍂 Why I Love These

These star pies are grounding, energizing, and full of life-giving nutrients. The natural sweetness from dates and fruit provides steady energy - helpful for labor stamina - while the healthy fats and minerals in nuts and almond flour support hormone balance and tissue repair after birth. They’re perfect for postpartum recovery, cozy fall gatherings, or a sweet afternoon treat with a warm cup of tea. And since they’re no bake, they come together easily with minimal cleanup - nourishing.

wiSHING YOU ALL THE HEALING!
