Recipes Baking Gluten-free Sugar Free Pies

Every once in a while you have a moment when you actually deserve a pat on the shoulder. When I first set out to bake a sugar-free and gluten-free apple pie, I was prepared for the worst. I don't think I had ever baked an apple pie without the help of a package, let alone one without sugar, dairy and wheat. But the result was fantastic and I am really a little proud of this apple pie without refined sugars, dairy and gluten.

Recipe

Sugar-free and gluten-free apple pie

You can easily serve this cake to people who do not want or need to eat sugar-free, because they really won't taste the difference. Ideal for birthdays, for example! The base of almond flour and rice flour is nice and crispy and not too sweet. That is not at all necessary, because the apple and cinnamon filling is naturally sweet.

  • 60 grams of almond flour
  • 30 grams of rice flour

Sugar-free and gluten-free apple pie

    How do you make a sugar and gluten-free apple pie?

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees

    Mix in a large bowl all the ingredients for the base and knead well. Wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate for a while (30 min)

    Now mix in the same bowl the ingredients for the dough for the top. Knead well and also put this dough in aluminum foil separately for a while

    Peel the apples and cut each apple into 4 segments and then into slices. Put in a bowl and mix with cinnamon and the lemon juice and possibly raisins or nuts.

    Grease a springform pan (20 cm) with some coconut oil or olive oil.

    Take the dough for the bottom and line the springform pan with it, making sure both the bottom and a piece of the side are well covered. The higher the dough on the side, the higher your apple pie will be later.

    Fill the springform pan with the apple filling and press slightly.

    Now take the dough for the top. Roll it into strips and line the apple filling with them. If you have some dough left over you can crumble it up and sprinkle it over the apple pie, that will give it just a little extra flavor.

    Bake the apple pie for about 45-50 minutes until golden brown. Note, every oven is different so keep an eye on your apple pie in the meantime!

    Let the apple pie cool for 15 minutes and then remove it from the springform pan. Enjoy your meal!

If you use coconut oil for the apple pie, it is important that you first weigh the coconut oil and only then melt. The weight can differ differently and maybe the proportions are no longer correct. Melt coconut oil is very simple; Put it in a bowl that leads the heat well, for example from stainless steel. Let a lot of hot water run into the sink and then put your bowl in the sink. Within a minute or 5, all coconut oil is melted and you can easily mix it.

You can serve this cake without any problems to people who do not want or have to eat sugar -free at all, because they will really not taste the difference. Ideal for birthdays, for example! The bottom of almond flour and rice flour is nice and crispy and not too sweet. That is also not necessary at all, because the filling of apple and cinnamon is of course also fresh.

Have fun baking this delicious apple pie!
