Who doesn’t love pie? It’s an American classic that has been enjoyed for generations. And now, with more people choosing to embrace a gluten-free and vegan lifestyle, it’s important to have options that cater to everyone’s dietary needs. That’s why I’m excited to share two delicious and easy-to-make recipes for vegan and gluten-free apple pie that will make your taste buds dance with joy.
Let’s start with the first recipe, which is a gluten-free and vegan crumble apple pie. This pie is made with almond flour and coconut sugar instead of wheat flour and white sugar. This makes it healthier and easier to digest for people who suffer from gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.
To make this pie, you’ll need:
– 5 cups of peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
– 1/4 cup of coconut sugar
– 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
– 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 cup of almond flour
– 1/4 cup of rolled oats
– 1/4 cup of chopped pecans
– 3 tablespoons of coconut oil
For the crust:
– 1 1/4 cups of almond flour
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 cup of coconut oil
– 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a bowl, mix together the sliced apples, coconut sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, rolled oats, chopped pecans, and coconut oil. Use your hands to combine the mixture until crumbly.
4. In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, salt, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Use your hands to combine the ingredients until a dough forms.
5. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired.
6. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
7. Top the pie with the crumble mixture.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9. Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Now, let’s move on to the second recipe, which is a vegan and gluten-free caramel apple pie with a crisp topping. This pie is made with a delicious combination of oat flour, almond flour, and coconut sugar, topped with a crispy mixture of oats, nuts, and coconut oil.
