Start of my Paleo Diet Recipes! #3 Bakeless Apple PIE

Bakeless Apple PIE

Makes 2 small ramekins (but can be scaled pretty easily without much extra effort or cooking
time)





Ingredients:

• 2 apples, peeled and chopped into small pieces
• 1/2 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 23
• 1 cup unsalted chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts) - you can use
• a blender or food processor to roughly chop these
• 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 Tablespoons ghee (or replace with another 2 Tablespoons coconut oil)
• 6 whole raw almonds as topping
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of ground nutmeg
• pinch of ground cloves

Directions:

• 1. Melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee in a saucepan on
• medium heat.
• 2. Add the apples to the saucepan and stir regularly to cook the apples until they’re
• soft (8-10 minutes).
• 3. Add in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and the chopped nuts and
• cook for 5 more minutes so that the flavor sinks in.
• 4. Divide into 2 individual ramekins, packing it down, and making sure that you
• don’t scoop out the extra oil at the bottom of the pan.
• 5. Place the 6 whole raw almonds into the extra oil left in the pan to coat them (it
• gives them a glistening look and some flavor).
• 6. Place 3 almonds (in a clover leaf arrangement) on top of each apple pie as
• decoration.
