Ingredients:
- a pie crust
- about 4 apples
- butter or coconut oil
- 2 or 3 eggs
- about 1/2 cup of crème fraîche or coconut milk
- a couple of tablespoons of honey
- spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc.
- vanilla
First make a pie crust. My usual crust is pressed moist almond meal, baked at 350F for around 20 minutes. You can probably get that done while sauteing the apples, and you’ll be preheating the oven while you’re at it. Peel and chop the apples. Saute them in some butter, sprinkling in the spices you like – I use cinnamon and nutmeg. While they’re getting soft, mix up the eggs, crème fraîche, vanilla, and honey. Slowly mix in the hot apples once they’re soft, then dump the whole mess into the pie crust. Bake at 350 F until it looks golden brown and set, around 30 minutes or so. I sometimes bake it around 15 minutes at 350, then 325, then 300 – I think the texture turns out nicer that way. You will be sorely tempted to eat it hot, but it is better chilled with whipped topping.
