Apple Crumble Pie

by . 12 Comments

I hope you are enjoying the gorgeous weather and the beautiful colors of autumn. One of the gifts that this season brings is the arrival of fresh local apples.  Perfect on its own or in crumble, pies, crisp, chutneys or cider, apples just sparkle with flavor and goodness. Since it stated raining this week I decided to make a scrumptious apple crumble pie. It’s so amazingly delicious with classic flavors of fall.

 

 

Start by making the almond and oat flour  crust. This recipe is modified and made gluten and egg free from Chatelaine. Once the crust is baked, fill it with sliced, cinnamony apples, top it with crunchy  oats crumble and to complete the dessert I served with vanilla custard sauce. Sweet and delicious this makes and easy dessert for fall evenings. I don’t have much else to say. This is the first thing you need to make to celebrate the colors and the cool and crisp fall air.

  6. Toss apples with corn starch, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until evenly coated.
