Servings: 8
Calories: 426kcal
Ingredients
Crust
- Just the Basics Almond Pie Crust unbaked (or your favorite grain-free pie crust)
- 3 cups almond flour
- 8 tablespoons cold butter or cold coconut oil
- stevia to taste
- pinch of salt
Filling:
- 6 Granny Smith apples cored, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter cut into pieces
- stevia to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine crust ingredients with a fork or pastry cutter.
- I also added a couple tablespoons of cold water to the crust until it came together nicely (please note, the original recipe did not call for this step).
- Divide the pie crust dough in half. Press one of the halves into a pie plate. Roll out the other half between two sheets of wax paper. Remove top piece of wax paper. Set pie crust aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine apples, lemon juice, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Add stevia to taste - a little at a time until just a bit too sweet (the sweetness dulls when baking).
- Pour filling into unbaked pie crust. Cut up the butter into pieces and lay randomly over filling.
- Carefully lay the rolled out pie crust on top of the filling and gently peel back the wax paper. Seal edges and flute. Place pie cover over edges or cover edges with foil to prevent burning. Lightly lay a sheet of foil overtop the pie crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, remove sheet of foil, and bake 45 min. longer.
- Serve warm with whipped coconut cream or refrigerate until later. Store leftover slices in refrigerator.
