Cinnamon honey apple gallette

Apple pie is one of the halmarks of fall. The delicious aroma of sugar, cinnamon and apples baking in the oven...ahhhh! I don't know about you, but the colder weather spurs me to bake, and bake I must.

My take on the apple pie gives it a rustic feel, and cuts a large amount of the sugar, without sacraficing the warmth and flavor. It is also a great way to get the kids to help out in the kitchen.

When I am looking to make meals healthier, for my family and for clients, I don't deprive myself of the things I love...like pie...but I do modify it with quality, nutrient rich, and sugar low ingredients.
To start this recipe, we must start with the crust. Now making a healthier version of pie crust is a little bit daunting, but doable. I start by cutting out the flour, and replacing it with a combination of Almond Flour and Coconut Flour. Both of these are nut flours, and as such contain a large amount of nutrients.

Health Benefits of Almonds:
  • High in Magnesium
  • High in Iron
  • High in Calcium
  • High in Zinc
  • High in Vitamin E
  • High in Folate
  • High in Riboflavin
  • High in Biotin
  • Helps lower LDL Cholesterol
  • Reserach shows that adding almonds to meal decreases the glycemic impact of the meal
  • Diets high in nuts fats decrease body fat
  • Reduces the risk of gallstones
​
Health Benefits of Coconut:
  • High in Fiber
  • High in Magnesium
  • High in Iron
  • High in Calcium
  • High in Folate
  • High in Medium Chain Fatty Acids, which help speed metabolism
  • Studies show that adding coconut to meals decreases the glycemic impact of the meal
  • Has antiinflammatory properties
  • Diets high in nut fats decreases body fat

For Crust

1 Cup Almond Flour
​1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Cup Cold Grass Fed Butter
1 Egg, Seperated
​1 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Coconut Flour
​1/2 tsp Salt
​1 Egg
1 tsp Raw, Unfiltered Honey
  1. In a bowl mix Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt. With fingers or pastry blade, cut butter into flour until crumbled texture. 
  2. Mix in Raw, Unfiltered Honey, 1 Whole Egg, and 1 Egg Yolk. Mix until dough forms. Place in fridge to cool for a minimum of 8 hours, and up to 24 hours.
  3. Flour surface (with either coconut flour or almond flour), and rolle out dough into a 12 inch round.
  4. Move dough to baking sheet (I use a stone baking sheet, and highly recomend one)
  5. Preceed to next steps below for assembly
Grass Fed Butter is a staple in my kitchen. The flavor is more robust than basic butter, and once you see the bright orange color, you'll be hooked on the sheer beauty of it. Who knew butter could be so pretty. Grass Fed Butter is wortht the price, it is full of hard to find nutrients such as B12/Vitamin D/Vitamin K2/Vitamin E/Animal Sourced Vitamin A/Omega 3 Fatty Acids/Good Cholesterol/and more...

​The Filling

1 Pound Apples (about 3 large)
2 tsp Raw, Unfiltered Honey
1 Meyer Lemon, Juiced
​1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1/2 Stick Salted Grass Fed Butter
1/2 tsp Vanilla
Reserved Egg White
  1. Brush inside of crust with coconut oil, and drissle with honey.
  2. Slice apples and arrange inside, drizzle with lemon juice.
  3. Fold over the edges of the crust, and brush with egg white.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, add butter and melt. Cook until butter begins to foam, stirring with a whisk...be careful not to burn it.
  5. Cook butter until it begins to brown, add vanilla and remove from heat and let sit. 
  6. Drizzle Vanilla Butter over the apples, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  7. Bake at 350 until the crust is brown and apples are soft.
  8. Serve with Cinnmoan Whipped Coconut Cream
Cinnamon Honey Apple Gallette
Raw, Unfiltered Honey, is the only honey I use. The pasturized and filtered verson are just sugar, but the raw, unfiltered honey contains propolis. Propolis is a natural anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial. Raw honey is also host to a variety of beneficial enzymes, and nutritents, but only if it is raw and unfiltered. Ingredient quality!
