Guilt-Free, Gluten-Free Apple Pie

0 · Oct 21, 2014 · Ana Stanciu · 6 Comments

All year I crave apple pie. I can’t wait for the cinnamon flavor to fill my kitchen, to devour that delicious crust. But when that autumn moment comes, that cinnamon-apple-crust moment, I just can’t allow myself to indulge. Loads of white flour, white sugar and heavy fats, everything sounds so wrong but yet it tastes and smells soooo good! This year I decided to search for alternatives, experiment and recreate an apple pie worth indulging in, every piece of it, guilt free!

Gluten-Free Apple PIe recipe | HelloGlow.coFor every guilty sweet pleasure there is a healthy alternative. You just have to give it a chance and accept that there maybe some differences in taste, but the result is still great and your body will thank you for every extra minute you spend searching for alternatives. And when it comes to apple pie, it’s actually quite easy. At every step of the preparation you can cut down the fats, sugar and unhealthy carbs. Here how to do it:

Gluten-Free Pie Crust

– replace white flour, which is completely lacking in nutrients and fiber, with almond and buckwheat flour. They give a nutty taste and enrich your pie with fiber and minerals. I decided to go further and create an even healthier pie, so I used gluten-free flour for the crust.

– cut down the cholesterol by replacing the butter with coconut oil – the flavor will be more intense and your arteries will thank you.

Healthy apple pie filling

– use apple varieties that are not very sweet, like Granny Smith. Tip: don’t through away the peels, simmer them and obtain a liquid with calming effects, especially if you have insomnia or agitated sleep.

– replace white sugar with unrefined varieties – Muscovado or coconut sugar

– cut down on the animal fat by using full fat milk instead of heavy cream when preparing the caramel sauce

    What flours did you use for the gluten-free flour blend? You mention using buckwheat and almond flours in the post, but the recipe doesn’t detail the amounts of each flour used. I’m super excited to try this pie crust!!
