Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut in cubes
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Apple Filling:
- 2 1/2 lbs. Fuji apples
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Crumble Topping
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut in cubes
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
Make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place the almond flour, butter, agave, egg, and salt in a large bowl.
- Use your hands to fold all the ingredients together, squeezing the butter to incorporate it into the dough.
- Grease a pie dish with butter or your favorite cooking spray.
- Use damp hands to press the crust into the pie dish.
- Once you get the crust evenly pressed into the bottom and sides, you can crimp the top edges with your fingers or press it with a fork.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes and then pull it out of the oven and set aside until the filling and topping are ready.
Make the filling:
- While the crust is baking, peel and slice the apples. You want to make thinner apple slices, about 1/4 – 1/8 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, arrowroot flour, cinnamon and salt.
- Add the apple slices to the bowl and use a rubber spatula to fold until the apple slices are coated with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set aside.
Make the crumble topping:
- Place the almond flour, butter cubes, and agave nectar in a large bowl.
- Use your hands to fold all the ingredients together, squeezing the butter to incorporate it into the crumble. Once you get a crumbly mixture, set aside.
Assemble and bake:
- Transfer the apples into the pie crust and top with the crumble.
- Cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, removing the foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Allow the pie to come to room temperature for 3 – 5 hours before cutting into it.
- Top with ice cream and whipped cream if desired!
Tips
- Allow the pie to cool for 3 – 5 hours to avoid the pie falling apart too much when you cut into it.
- This pie can sit at room temperature for a few hours. But, it’s best to cover with foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you’re ready to eat it.
