Gluten Free Apple Pie: plant-based recipe made with local apples and honey
Ingredients
  • One full recipe of our gluten free pie dough (or recipe of choice)
  • 4 #'s of apples, peeled and sliced (we use an apple peeler, goes much faster)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp of tapioca granules, we use instant organic
  • ¼ c. honey (we use Buckwheat)
  • ½ tsp nutmeg (fresh is best)
  • pinch of salt (about ⅛ tsp)
  • zest of 1 orange and 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
Instructions
  1. Roll out bottom crust and place sheets of plastic wrap to cover and place back into the fridge. For more directions, see our gluten free pie crust recipe.
  2. Mix all ingredients into a large bowl.
  3. Pour filling into prepared pie shell, heaping it tall. The filling will shrink as it bakes and you want a very full pie. If you feel you have extra, set it aside, as it is awesome sautéed on top of some oatmeal or eaten on its own as a dessert!
  4. Roll out top crust layer. Place on top of apples and seal, creating pretty edges as you bring the lower and upper crusts together. The crust is pretty forgiving. If it rips slightly, don't freak! It can be smooched back together. Use fingers to smooth it out if needed.
  5. Cut a decoration in pie crust if desired. Cover edges of crust with pie protectors or tin foil to avoid the edges burning. They will still brown nicely under the foil
  6. Place onto a cookie sheet (as it often bubbles out of the crust) and place into a 375 degree oven. Bake until you smell the pie, the filling is bubbling, and the crust has browned nicely. Around 60-70 minutes. Watch it though, you don't want it to burn!
  7. Serve with your favorite
  8. coconut whipped cream
  9. or on its own.
