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.

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
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!
