Hello everyone,
Hope you are all doing great. Mothers, it is now your turn to spoil Dad with this amazing almond flour crust apple pie for Fathers day. I swopped out some ingredients to put a more healthy spin on it and I must tell you, it is still absolutely delicious. Was also easy to throw together.
For the crust:
2 cups almond flour
Pinch sea salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 egg
- 500g of Pink Lady apples. Peel and sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- (you get this from any health shop)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch sea salt
For the topping
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup xylitol
- 1/2 cup oats
- 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
Place flour and salt in food processor and pulse briefly (or bowl and use a mixer). Add coconut oil and egg and pulse briefly. Press dough with fingers into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake at 200deg for 10 minutes.
While pie is blind baking in the oven, put all ingredients into a large pan over medium heat. Cover the pan, and stir occasionally. Once the liquid from the apples has thickened and the flour has dissolved, remove from heat. Transfer the cooked apples to the blind-baked pie crust.
Pulse all of the ingredients for the topping, in a food processor. Spread the mixture over the top of your pie.
