For the macadamia cookie crust:
1 cup raw macadamia nuts
½ cup gluten-free oat flour
½ cup brown rice flour

1 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours, drained, and rinsed
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cups finely diced pineapple
What you do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round tart pan with coconut oil.
