Recipe: Paleo Apple Pie Crumble

Thursday, November 7, 2013

After we went apple picking the other weekend, we had a bunch of apples in our kitchen. Imagine that. I spent a few days slicing one up and dipping it in almond butter, but I really felt like we couldn't go through fall without a dish that at least somewhat resembled/tasted like an apple pie. So I made this Paleo Apple Pie-ish Crumble. That's the scientific term for it.


It tastes just like apple pie without the sugar or grains. And it makes your house smell like the holidays.

Ingredients:
Four cups sliced apples
One tablespoon agave nectar
One teaspoon vanilla
The juice of half a lemon
One teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl before transferring to a buttered casserole/pie dish.
3. Top with Paleo crumb topping:
2/3 cup almond flour
1/3 cup arrowroot powder
1/3 cup butter, cubed
Two tablespoons honey
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until topping is browned. (You can broil it at the very end if you like.)

    1. For this recipe at least, I'd just say skip the arrowroot powder! You really don't need it unless you're making pancakes or something.
