Pre-heat oven to 180deg.
Place oats, coconut and almonds into TM bowl. Blitz 20 sec/sp 9. Scrape down bowl.
Add macadamia nut oil and honey. Combine 20 sec/sp 9. Scrape down bowl.

Roll dough out to 5mm in thickness between 2 sheets of baking paper.

Tip
The method for the crust gives a wholesome, crunchy, biscuity texture. For something closer to a pastry, first turn the oats and almond meal into a fine flour and then proceed as per recipe.
I like sultanas in my pies, but you could use raisins instead.
Once I've done the fruit filling, I set it aside on a separate plate so I can rinse the TM bowl and get on with making the cashew cream.
You can make the cashew cream without soaking the cashews first, however the consistency won't be as smooth.

Comments
Oh sorry to hear the pastry was crumbly. It's a straight conversion of this one: https://www.thehealthychef.com/2014/12/fruit-mince-pies/ - (oatmeal short crust). Seems to work for me. You could pop extra pastry on top and bake. I have eaten the raw ones over a few days, stored in the fridge.
I followed the receipe exactly and the pastry was really crumbly. I added extra oil and water to get it to sort of form a dough, although it really didn't work perfectly. The filling was tasty, although I had planned to make them ahead of time, like you do traditional fruit mince pies, and then after making them remembered they were raw and therefore were unlikely to keep more than a day.
