Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, 1/3 cup erythritol, coconut flour, and salt.
Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes until it sets slightly. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
While the crust is cooling, peel and slice the apples into thin wedges.
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, 1/4 cup erythritol, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a small bowl, mix chopped pecans with a teaspoon of melted butter and an additional teaspoon of erythritol.
Arrange the seasoned apple slices evenly over the pre-baked crust.
Sprinkle the pecan mixture over the apples.
Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the top from over-browning.
Bake for an additional 35 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Allow the Low Carb Dutch Apple Pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Enjoy a slice of pie as is, or pair it with a scoop of low-carb vanilla ice cream if desired!
