Gluten Free Apple Pie

Gluten Free Apple Pie

Crust Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

2 eggs

1/4 cup honey

3/4 cup coconut flour (sifted)

1/2 cup of diced up apples

1 teaspoon of lemon juice

Pinch Salt

Pie Crust Instructions:

Place butter in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave until melted.
Add eggs, honey, salt, lemon juice and apples. Mix well.
Pour mixture into blender and blend on medium until smooth.
In a large bowl whisk in coconut flour with blended goodness for 2 minutes.
Knead dough for about a minute and then form a ball. If it is too sticky, knead in a little more coconut flour.
Set aside 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of dough for topping later.
Roll out dough between wax paper to form pie crust.
Butter bottom of a 9-inch pie pan and place dough in pan.
Prick bottom and sides of crust with a fork.

Tip: Coconut flour can be flaky to work with so don’t panic if your dough is not sticking like traditional wheat-based flour. Use a spoon or your thumbs to smooth out your dough in your pie pan.
