This recipe achieves that by using oatmeal for a lighter crust and topping<\/strong> and natural sweetness from the apples and a minimal amount of maple syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd2a Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Prepare the Crust and Crumble (5 Minutes)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Preheat:<\/strong> Preheat your oven to 190\u00b0C (375\u00b0F)<\/strong>. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Make the Base:<\/strong> In a food processor, combine the oat flour, whole oats, almond flour, maple syrup, and cubed cold butter\/coconut oil<\/strong>. Pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Form the Crust:<\/strong> Press 2\/3<\/strong> of the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form the crust. Reserve the remaining 1\/3<\/strong> for the topping.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. Prepare the Filling (5 Minutes)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, apple cider, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cornstarch\/tapioca flour<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Toss everything well until the apples are evenly coated, ensuring the cornstarch is distributed (it’s the key to a thick, not watery, filling).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      3. Assemble and Bake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Fill:<\/strong> Pour the apple filling evenly into the prepared crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Crumble:<\/strong> Distribute the reserved 1\/3<\/strong> of the crumble mixture evenly over the top of the apples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Bake:<\/strong> Bake for 40\u201350 minutes<\/strong>, or until the crumble is golden brown, the filling is bubbly, and the apples are fork-tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Cool:<\/strong> Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour<\/strong> before slicing. This allows the cornstarch to fully set, ensuring perfect slices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        This pie is light, packed with fiber, naturally sweet, and absolutely delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
