GLUTEN FREE APPLE PIE RECIPE – REFINED SUGAR FREE!

azddine (25)in #gluten-apple • 6 years ago

Growing up near Apple Hill in Northern California was such a treat! Not only did it give me a love for a wide variety of apples, but the homemade apple pies, fritters & cider were a special treat we looked forward to every fall. Each year, our family would pick apples right from the trees & make a huge homemade apple pie. I can still taste it in my minds eye.

Since Hawaii doesn’t grow apples, we only get a few varieties to choose from, so when I spy Granny Smith’s on sale, I pick up a few pounds and make Apple Pie!! Who cares what time of year it is… Apple Pie is welcome in our home all year round!

This Gluten Free Apple Pie Recipe is also Refined Sugar Free & Vegan. It works perfectly with my regular Gluten Free Pie Crust Recipe or my Gluten Free Vegan Pie Crust Recipe as well. You can use this Apple Pie Filling Recipe to make Pies or Apple Fritters, Crumbles, Crisps & Turn-Overs. For a la Mode, we top ours with Dairy Free Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream…Yes Ma’am!
