Maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS:
Firstly, we need to prepare crust for the pie. In large bowl mix spelt flour with erythritol and cinnamon.
Add butter and almond butter, mix until well combined. I found it easiest to mix it with your fingers. You can add the milk if you are not having a thick and combined dough.
Transfer your crust into 22 cm tart tin and evenly spread around the tin and tin edges.
With fork make few holes in the bottom.
Now we will prepare filling. Cut washed and pealed apples into small moons and transfer them into large bowl. Add sugar, cinnamon and vanilla pudding and mix well until apples are fully covered.
Add chopped nuts and vanilla extract and mix together until combined. Transfer filling onto prepared crust.
For the topping mix oats, flour and cinnamon together. Add in almond butter and maple syrup and mix everything with your fingers until you are having crumble topping. Don’t worry if is not fully combined together, structure should be similar to crumble crust.
Top up your prepared pie with this crumble crust, add some almond flakes and bake for 35-45 minutes until slightly golden on top.
Let it cool for 1 hour and then serve with maple syrup on top. You can also add toasted almonds, almonds flakes or almond butter on top! Enjoy.
