For the Crust
1
|
Heat the oven to 350F.
2
|
Mix all the crust ingredients in a bowl until a soft dough forms. Split the dough in half and roll out between two sheets of parchment paper. Place one half of the dough into a pie pan and gently press into the side. Set aside.
3
|
Roll out the second half of the dough and slice into thin strips. Refrigerate the dough while you make the filling.
For the Filling
1
|
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot. Saute the apples for 5 minutes, mix in the maple syrup and cinnamon.
2
|
Remove from the heat and stir in the arrowroot powder and vanilla extract. Allow to cool.
3
|
Spoon the cooled apple mixture into the crust.
4
|
Carefully transfer the pie dough strips onto the pie to form a lattice crust: Place 3 strips horizontally across the pie, and 3 strips vertically across the pie.
5
|
Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Serve hot or cold.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Apple Selection & Prep 🍎Use a mix of tart (Granny Smith) and sweet (Honeycrisp) apples, and toss them with lemon juice immediately after slicing to prevent oxidation and maintain texture during baking.
- Almond Flour Crust Binding 🥜Keep your coconut oil cold and work quickly when combining with almond flour; this creates a crumbly texture that binds beautifully without overworking the dough like traditional wheat flour would.
- Arrowroot Powder Thickening 💫Mix arrowroot powder with the maple syrup and spices before adding to apples to ensure even distribution and prevent lumping, which guarantees a silky filling without the cornstarch cloudiness.
- Blind Bake Your Crust 🔒Pre-bake the gluten-free crust at 375°F for 8-10 minutes with parchment and pie weights to prevent sogginess, since almond flour crusts absorb moisture faster than traditional pastry.
- Cooling Strategy for Clean Slices ❄️Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours; this sets the arrowroot thickener and makes cutting clean slices significantly easier.
