GAPS (Honey) Apple Pie

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.
