Ingredients
Filling
3 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, quartered, and cored
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup arrowroot starch
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Crumble Topping
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup rolled oats (certified gluten free)
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons cold cubed vegan butter such as Miyoko’s
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Crust
1 prepared, uncooked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll a pie crust and press it into your pie dish. Crimp the edges.
To make the apple pie filling, cut the apple pieces into thin slices, no more than 1/8" thick. Place in a large bowl and add the lemon juice, orange juice, coconut sugar, arrowroot, salt, and spices. Set aside.
To make the crumble topping, in a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oats, walnuts, coconut sugar, and salt. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to combine the butter. If the mixture isn't holding together well or you would like it sweeter you can add one tablespoon of maple syrup.
Transfer the apple filling mixture to the prepared pie crust and arrange so that they are as compact as possible. Spoon the crumble topping over the top of the apples. Cover with foil and bake for about an hour and 15 minutes, until the apples are tender and the crust is done. Remove the foil to brown the crumble for the last few minutes.
Let the pie rest at room temperature for about an hour while the filling sets.
Notes
Gluten Free: Be sure to use gf oats and a gf pie crust such as one from Wholly Wholesome.
