Ingredients

For Pie Crust

  • 2 cups almond flour blanched
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp honey or another sweetener of your choice

For Filling

  • 4-5 apples cored and sliced thinly
  • 3 tablespoons butter, ghee or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar

For Crumble Topping

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 cup almond flour or another nut meal of your choice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, ghee or coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Mix pie crust ingredients together in a bowl and kneed out the dough until fully combined and ball-shaped.
  • On a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper, roll out the dough to approximately 1/4" thick, until the size of your pie pan.
  • Invert pie pan on top of the pie crust, then flip over the pie pan and pie crust at the same time. Remove parchment paper and press dough into the pie pan.
  • Over medium heat, add sliced apples, butter and cinnamon to a pan. Heat until the apples begin to soften, approximately 5-10 minutes.
  • Add filling to the pie pan.
  • Mix crumble topping ingredients together and pour over the top of the apple pie filling.
  • Place pie in oven and cook for 25-30 minutes. The crust may burn slightly, so if you are worried about appearance, add foil around the edges to prevent burning.
  • Let cool 15-20 minutes. Slice pie and serve. Enjoy!
