Gluten-free Caramel Apple Pie

There’s nothing like apple pie on a chilly fall evening. This plant-based, gluten-free apple pie recipe is extra special thanks to the addition of caramel.

Ingredients

Pie Crust :
4 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
2½ cups ground almonds (or other nuts)
¼ cup sugar
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Apple Filling :
½ cup coconut oil or vegan butter
3 Tbsp corn starch
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup water
Pinch of salt
3-5 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced thin

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make pie crust. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Press mixture into a pie plate.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350 F if a crispier crust is desired. Otherwise leave raw.
In a medium saucepan bring all ingredients but apples to a boil. Reduce heat then simmer for 5 minutes to make a caramel sauce.
Pile apples in pie shell and pour caramel over top. Cover with foil and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until apples are soft.
