- 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ½ tsp xanthan gum
- ½ tsp Redmond Real salt
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- Pie Filling Ingredients
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup erythritol/allulose blend
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp allspice
- 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
- 2 medium red apples, sliced
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- xanthan gum for thickening (optional)
- Crumb Topping Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- ¼ cup erythritol
- ¼ cup Swerve brown sugar alternative
Pie Crust Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spray an 8-inch pie pan with avocado oil, or grease with butter.
- In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and eggs, and mix well.
- Using your hands, form the dough into a ball, place on parchment paper, and roll out with a rolling pin (for best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours before rolling).
- Fill the pie pan with the rolled dough. Make sure the dough is even and sides are pressed in. Using a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the dough before baking.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until crust is firm, but not completely done. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Pie Filling Directions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the melted butter, sweetener, lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice, and gelatin.
- Add the apple slices and vanilla extract, and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook until apples are soft, about 12 minutes.
- After the apples have softened, remove from heat and let rest to allow the filling to thicken. For thicker pie filling, add xanthan gum as needed (optional).
- Pie Crumb Topping Directions
- Place the ingredients in a medium bowl and gently combine. The topping should have small clumps and be damp.
Pie Assembly Directions
- Pour the pie filling into the pie crust, and top with the crumb topping. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
