Suite of Sweets for Sweethearts: ?New and Improved? Crustless Apple Pie Plus Big Giveaway

Crustless Apple Pie Now Grain Free, Dairy Free, and More Free

One of the most popular recipes on gfe is my Easy Crustless Apple Pie. The ?Crustless? description refers to the lack of a traditional crust as this pie has a ?pour over? crust that forms a bottom and top crust. It?s a stellar recipe. Honestly, I never even liked apple pie before making that recipe. But often folks quickly click away when they see that this pie contains grains, dairy, refined sugar, and an egg. You no longer need to do that. For Suite of Sweets for Sweethearts, I?ve re-created my Easy Crustless Apple Pie. This ?New and Improved? Crustless Apple Pie recipe is now grain free, dairy free, and refined sugar free, and has an egg-free/vegan option. And it?s just as easy as ever to make because really you?re just making some simple substitutions in the original recipe?another type of conversion, if you will.

Crustless Apple Pie (Grain Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, with Egg Free/Vegan Option)

Son eats gluten free and dairy free on a daily basis, and refined sugar free and egg free as much as possible in the hectic life of a single 25-year old with a demanding job. I wanted to make this recipe safe for him to eat. I knew that a new version would be appreciated by my readers, too. I?ve been thinking about making a ?new and improved? version of this pie ever since my friend Elana (Elana?s Pantry) told me that she makes my pie all the time for my family using almond flour. That surprised me! Not that Elana used almond flour ? after all, Elana has proven that she is the queen of almond flour time and time again, but I hadn?t thought that almond flour would work in this recipe. Hearing that it did work well enough to please Elana and her family made me so happy! However, I never quizzed Elana on the rest of the ingredients she used. I just went with what made sense to me and had worked for ?free? versions in the past and, voila, success! I?ll say that this version doesn?t form a crust quite as nicely as the original for cutting into a pretty piece, but the pie is so good that you really won?t care. These were the only photos I got of this pie. We were too busy eating it to take many photos! You?ll find the recipe at the bottom of this post, but let?s get to today?s giveaway, shall we?

?New and Improved? Grain-Free and More-Free Crustless Apple Pie

?New and Improved? Crustless Apple Pie (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free, with Egg-Free/Vegan Option)

Author:?Shirley Braden

?

• 4 ? to 5 cups of apples (about 5 to 6 apples, your choice)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp coconut sugar
• ? cup healthy oil (I used ? cup liquefied coconut oil and ? cup extra virgin olive oil, but you can use all coconut oil)
• 1 cup blanched almond flour (I use this brand)
• 1 cup coconut sugar/coconut palm sugar
• 1 egg (an extra large egg works best; or flax gel egg, plus dairy-free milk if needed; see notes)

1. Grease 9-inch deep dish pie plate.
2. Put apples in greased pie plate and sprinkle with cinnamon and one tablespoon of coconut sugar.
3. In a bowl, mix one cup of coconut sugar, almond flour, and oil. Blend in unbeaten egg and pinch of salt. Mix well and pour over apples. This mixture will be thick, so you?ll have to spread it with a spatula to cover all the apples. (If using a flax gel egg, the mixture might be even thicker and might require thinning. See notes.)
4. Sprinkle more cinnamon over top. (I confess ? I forget this final step often and the pie still turns out great.)
5. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes. The pie will be done when it?s a golden brown color.

Some readers have used non-dairy butter or margarine but a lesser amount, about ? cup. For the egg-free version, you can use two flax gel eggs. If your batter mixture for the crust is too thick to pour over/spread on top of the filling, add dairy-free milk until it is. You don?t want more liquid than necessary so start with ? cup of dairy-free milk, but add up to ? cup if needed.
