Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Stevia sweetener
- 3 cups Unsweetened diced apples
- 1 cup Raisins, no sugar added
- 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Zest of an orange
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Nutmeg powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Clove powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, stevia, and unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the texture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and knead gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the mincemeat filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, raisins, orange juice, orange zest, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove powder, and vanilla extract.
Cook the filling over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness. Line a 9-inch pie dish with half the dough, trimming the edges as needed.
Pour the cooled mincemeat filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the pie. Alternatively, you can use the second half of the dough to fully cover the pie and cut small slits for ventilation.
Brush the top crust or lattice with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy a diabetic-friendly version of a classic dessert!
