Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
For the pie crust
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/2 cup coconut oil not melted, hard
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2/3 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the apple pie filling
- 3 large apples peeled, cored and sliced into 1/8 to 1/4" thick
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Prepare a 9" pie dish by greasing with cooking spray or coconut oil.
- In a food processor, add all the ingredients except the egg. Pulse several times until it appear crumbly then add the egg and process until it become a dough.
- Transfer the dough to the prepare pie dish and press it into the pie dish - up the tops and into the bottom of the dish. Using a piece of parchment paper to push the dough into the dish prevents it from sticking to your fingers.
- Use a fork to pierce the dough with a fork all over to prevent it from rising during baking.
- Bake at 375 F 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool 10-15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- Reduce the oven to 350 F. Transfer the sliced apples to a mixing bowl with the maple syrup, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss the mixture to evenly distribute the mixture.
- Place the apple slices in the bottom of the pie crust arranging in a circular motion by slightly overlapping them. Pour the remaining sauce over the apples.
- Bake at 350 F 15-20 minutes uncovered until the apples appear tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and cool 20 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces and enjoying.
