Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup granulated erythritol
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup sugar-free maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, and granulated erythritol. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Add this to the flour and butter mixture.
Stir the mixture until it forms a dough. Press the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and xanthan gum. Toss well to coat the apples evenly.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Take two-thirds of the dough and press it into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly.
Pour the apple mixture into the pie shell, spreading it out evenly.
Drizzle the sugar-free maple syrup over the apple filling.
Roll out the remaining dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Carefully cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the apple filling.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the pie to cool before serving.
