As American as Gluten-Free, Low-Amylose Apple... "Pie"

Ok guys, its a LONG list of ingredients, but it's mostly all the same stuff repeated for the 3 parts. We had a bunch of college students and Rabbis visiting us all weekend for the Chabad on Campus Shabbaton  here in Crown Heights, so (selfishly) I decided to make a treat that I could also enjoy. Lemme know if you have trouble with it or suggestions. I tweaked and the combined three different recipes to make this one, so I'm sure there's more than ample room for improvement... but our guests gobbled this thing up in less than a day. Here ya go....

INGREDIENTS
Crust:
-1/4 cup almond flour
-1/2 cup + 2 TBS coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- dash of ground nutmeg
- dash of ground ginger
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla

Filling:
- 1 cup water
- 1 TBS lemon juice
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground clove
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- dash of salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 3 large apples; cored, peeled and chopped (I used Cortland, because that's what we had in the house)
- 1/4 cup almond flour

Crumble topping:
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 3/4 cup almond OR coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- dash of ground cinnamon
- dash of ground ginger
- 1/3 cup Earth Balance, chilled & cut into little pieces

DIRECTIONS
Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Mix crust's dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix crust's wet ingredients
- Combine the two bowls' mixtures
- Wait a couple of minutes to make sure moisture is really absorbed
- Press evenly into the bottom & along the sides of a pie pan
- Gently stab with a fork all over the bottom (don't go TOO crazy)
- Bake for 5-7 mins; make the filling during this time
There's no olive oil in this recipe. That guy's just photo bombing.
Filling:
- Combine the ingredients. Yep, it's that simple.
- Throw it into the partially-baked crust (I added the crumble later in the baking process)
- Bake for about 20 minutes. (I checked it a couple of times to make sure the crust wasn't burning, but you could also put tin foil on the crust.)
With unbaked Crumble Topping
Crumble Topping:
- Mix everything but the Earth Balance together
- Cut in the Earth Balance until combined
- Using your fingers, crumble/break off small chunks and sprinkle on top of the pie.
- Bake an additional 10-20 minutes.

It'll look pretty liquid-y, but it solidifies as it cools.
Hope you enjoy!

  1. For low Amylose replace the Ginger with allspice; cinnamon; mace; or nutmeg
