Clean Carmel Apple Pie


Growing up my grandmother made apple pie all the time. It is a family favorite and I like to keep traditions. I took this All-American comfort food and just cleaned it up !! I took this traditional recipes, and modified it so that it was free of processed and refined ingredients.

Ingredients Pie Filling:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 8 cups Apples (about 7 medium)
  • 3 tsp coconut oil


Ingredients Carmel Sauce: 

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt

In a small saucepan, place coconut oil with maple syrup and salt. Boil 2 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Directions:
Heat oven to 425. 
Prepare the pie crusts.
Line the bottom of your pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Mix the honey, flour , nutmeg & cinnamon. Stir in Apples. Add the apples to the pie plate. Drizzle the carmel sauce over the apples. Drizzle the Coconut oil over the apple mix. Top with the second prepared pie crust. Cut slits in the the crust and seal the edges. Cover the edge with a 3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Bake until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through the slits. 40 - 50 minutes.
