Marissa’s Apple Pie

This recipe came from a friend who I think created it herself. It’s pretty healthy and very tasty.

For the crust:

• 1 c almond meal
• 1 c oat flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 c fruit juice (orange works well)

Press into a pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

For the filling:

• 1 c fruit juice (apple or orange works well)
• 1 c water
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 4-6 apples (peeled, cored & cut)
• dash or two of nutmeg (optional)
• dash of cloves (optional)

In a large saucepan, mix liquids with cornstarch and spices. Simmer over low heat until thickened. Add honey and stir frequently. Add apples and cook, stirring frequently, just until apples soften (10-20 minutes). Pour into baked crust.

For the topping:

• 3 tbsp margarine
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 c brown sugar
• 1/4 c whole wheat flour
• 1/2 c oats
• 3/4 c chopped raw walnuts (optional)

Mix well and sprinkle evenly over apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, until apples are soft.
