Sugar Free (Honey) Apple Pie Filling
10 - 12 small to medium apples
(Pealed and sliced) I used Granny Smith and I cut them in chunks but it doesn't
matter.
2-3 T Butter
1/3 -1/2 C Honey - I eye balled
it. It doesn't hurt to have a bit more.
1 t cinnamon
1/8 t nutmeg
Peal the apples and slice or cut into
small chunks.
Melt butter in a skillet and add the
honey on low. Honey burns quickly. Then add the apples and cook them for 15-20
min to soften them. I had to use 2
skillets b/c I didn't have enough space in the first one. I may have added a bit more butter due to the
2 skillet issue. Towards the end I added the cinnamon and nutmeg. Then I poured it into the almond flour crust,
you could use any crust you want.
Finally I topped it with a crumb
topping. This is optional. It didn't need it but it looked kind of weird
without a top to it. It is almost
impossible to make a almond flour crust for the top so that is why I had to do
the crumb topping. It would also taste
good with no crust at all.
Crumb topping:
·
1 cups almond flour -
you could use regular flour
·
6 tablespoons
unsalted butter, room temperature (mine was cold and I broke it up into pieces
with a fork.
·
1/4 honey
·
1/4
teaspoon salt
Make crumb topping: In a medium bowl,
combine 1 cup flour, butter, honey (I drizzled it), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. I
stirred it with fork until it all mixed but didn't get too gooey; freeze(I
didn't do this but my butter was still cold) I sprinkled it on the pie.
