- 6 cups Granny Smith apples , peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar , packed
- 3 tablespoons tapioca starch/flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts , pecans or sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch/flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil , butter or oil of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a 9-inch pie pan with crust. Flute the edges. Use your fingers to repair any tears in the crust, if needed.
- To make the filling, place sliced apples, lemon juice, sugars, tapioca starch/flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined.
- Pour filling into unbaked crust and spread it around until evenly distributed.
- To make the streusel topping, place walnuts, brown sugar, rice flour, tapioca starch/flour, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined. Add coconut oil and mix until evenly distributed. Topping should be crumbly. Sprinkle topping over apple filling.
- Loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly. Put pie on a baking sheet. Place in preheated oven and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until the filling bubbles, apples are fork-tender and the crust is cooked. Remove foil after 25 minutes to allow the top to brown.
- Take the pie from the oven and let cool before slicing.
