What Do We Mean By “Healthy?”
Our recipes focus on real ingredients and homemade elements. We try to avoid processed flour and sugar, like white flour or white sugar. Our recipes often swap less healthy options (like a commercial, deep-fried tostada) for an easy homemade version.
Our recipes are not necessarily low fat or low calorie, and we aren’t afraid of fat or carbs! Some of our recipes will be “skinny,” low carb, keto, paleo, dairy free, grain free, gluten free, Whole30, or vegan, and they will be labeled when they qualify for any of these diets. All our recipes are easy and family friendly!

Instructions

- Peel (or not), core, and slice the apples. We took the peels off! In a large bowl, toss apples in cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Grab a medium sized skillet and melt coconut oil. Slowly stir in GF flour to form paste. Add water and sugar to paste. Bring to a quick boil.Reduce temperature and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat to cool. Roll out pie crust to fit pie dish. Pour apple mixture onto pie crust. Cover the apples with coconut paste. Slightly mound the apple mixture.
- Cover the entire pie with top pie crust or create a lattice (or any type!) of crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350. Continue baking for 35-45 mins.
- Allow pie to completely cool before serving.
Looks amazing but am I missing where you need to go for the specific ingredients and measurements? I’d like to try this but… I only read instructions sans ingredient list

I can’t wait to try this apple pie recipe! Do you have a preferred “healthier” shortening that you like to use?
Wow, my vegan friends will love this! Your crust is beautiful!
That crust is so perfect! This is irresistible.
Is the crust portion of the recipe only for the bottom crust? Should I double it to make a top crust?
Yes, this is for the bottom crust only. Thanks for bringing that point to light!
