Allergens

Nuts (Almonds, Walnuts) - Eggs

Ingredients

• 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup blanched almonds, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup full
• fat coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Begin by preparing the apple filling: In a medium saucepan, combine apples, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly. Next, prepare the almond crust: In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, chopped almonds, honey or maple syrup, egg, coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, and baking powder until well combined. Press the mixture into a greased 8 inch (20 cm) round baking dish to form the crust. Spoon the cooled apple filling evenly over the crust. Bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Chef’s Insight
