Author: Abel James

Recipe type: Dessert

Serves: 8

Ingredients

Crust

• 1 ½ cups coconut flour (or buckwheat flour)
• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• ½ cup flaxseed meal
• 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
• ½ cup + 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil), melted
• 1 ½ cups full-fat unsweetened canned coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons 100% maple syrup

Filling

• 5 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• Juice of ½ lemon
• ¾ cup grass-fed butter (unsalted)
• ¼ cup almond flour
• 3 tablespoons filtered water
• 1 cup organic coconut palm sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a pie pan with coconut oil.
2. For the crust, in a large bowl whisk together coconut flour, almond flour, flaxseed meal, and salt.
3. Add melted coconut oil, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Mix until well combined.
4. Press ⅔ of the dough into greased pie pan, and freeze while you make the filling. Reserve the remaining dough in bowl. Set aside.
5. Place apple slices in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Set aside.
6. Melt butter a saucepan over low heat.
7. Stir in almond flour, water, coconut palm sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Bring to a simmer.
8. Pour ⅓ of the sauce mixture in with the remaining crust dough, and pour the other ⅔ of the sauce with the apple slices and turn to completely coat.
9. Take pie shell out of the freezer, and pour the apple mixture into the prepared crust.
10. Use hands to mix the butter mixture into the remaining dough and either flatten and place over the apples, or crumble over the top. Line the rim of the pie pan with foil to cover the crust edges (so they don't burn).
11. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes.
12. Let cool until just warm. Enjoy with homemade whipped cream and a cup of coffee. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Apple pie is undoubtedly delicious. But the processed-sugar-gluten-bomb version of the pie you find in most restaurants, stores, and kitchens makes us fat and sick. Boo.

But if you’re pining for the fruity, crispy, warm goodness of a perfectly baked apple pie—just like grandma used to make—I have one thing to say to you: Don’t give up!

Being shameless pie people, my wife and I have been working to perfect a guilt-free apple pie for years.

And, by golly, I think we’ve finally done it.

Getting the crust just right, especially if it’s gluten-free, can be a daunting task.

Without gluten to hold everything together, most grain-free dough lacks elasticity and can crumble before you can get it in the pan.

Kitchen-tested and heartily Wild Diet approved, this Homemade Apple Pie is made from real-food ingredients like coconut flour, Granny Smith apples, pure maple syrup and flax meal.

So you can enjoy a slice and still keep to your Wild Diet—melting fat and feeling great.

It’s the perfect dessert for your free meal, and a huge hit at gatherings. Bring it to your next holiday party and blow your friends’ minds.

They won’t believe how you can get lean and looking so great while eating pie! But I believe we’ve found a loophole, folks!

Real apple flavors with butter, spice, and everything nice… but no processed sugar, wheat flour, or chemical additives. As always, real food simply tastes better.

Try this old-fashioned apple pie yourself, and you’ll see what I mean!
