Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
• 1/4 cup Tapioca Starch
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter, cubed
• 3-5 tablespoons Ice Water
• 4 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Almond Milk (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Turbinado Sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, and salt.

3. 3

   Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Gently press the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

6. 6

   While the dough chills, prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.

7. 7

   On a lightly floured (gluten-free flour blend) surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.

8. 8

   Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.

9. 9

   Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as you go. Brush the crust with the egg wash (egg beaten with almond milk) and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

10. 10

    Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
