Ingredients

2 cups blanched almond flour
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/4 cup coconut oil, solid, chilled
1 large egg
2 tsp raw honey
3 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, thinly sliced
2 tbsp raw honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Make the crust: In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups blanched almond flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Add 1/4 cup solid, chilled coconut oil and use your fingers or a fork to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 large egg and 2 tsp raw honey, then stir until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes.
3

Place the dough on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the dough and roll it out into a rough 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap.
4

Make the filling: Toss 3 medium peeled, cored, thinly sliced apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith) with 2 tbsp raw honey, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 2 tsp fresh lemon juice until evenly coated.
5

Arrange the apple slices in overlapping concentric circles on the crust, leaving a 1.5-inch border around the edge.
6

Fold the edges of the crust up and over the outer apples, pleating as needed. Brush the folded crust edges with 1 beaten large egg.
7

Bake until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
