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:

- 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.
