Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Almond Flour Crust:
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg, cold
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • For the Apple Filling:
  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced small
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • For the Egg Wash (Optional):
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin very well.
  • Make the crust: In a food processor, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Add the cold egg and vanilla extract. Process just until the dough comes together into a ball.
  • Press the crust: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Press each piece evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared muffin cups. Prick the bottom of each crust a few times with a fork.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, tapioca flour, and vanilla until everything is evenly coated.
  • Assemble and bake: Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the crust-lined muffin cups. If using, brush the exposed edges of the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
  • Cool and serve: Let the pies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Then, gently run a butter knife around the edges to loosen and carefully lift them out. Serve slightly warm.
