When I was growing up one of my favorite desserts was homemade pie. My mom would make my dad a custard pie every year for his birthday and of course, apple pie with a side of cheddar cheese was always a big hit. When I think pie recipe I tend to think sweet but a savory pie recipe makes a delicious and hearty meal to feed a hungry family. Turkey pot pie is, of course, a staple right after Thanksgiving! If you are a lover of all things PIE then you will love this Sweet and Savory Pie Recipe Roundup I put together through Foodie.com!

Since I started out on my Paleo diet adventure, pie has become quite the no no in my life. It makes me said that I am missing out on an entire selection of delicious recipes just because the traditional pie crust has flour in it. I decided to start hunting around for a Paleo pie recipe and found a few interesting ideas. I will give you a quick summary of what I tried and then let you know what I liked and didn’t like. Since this was my first attempt it was by no means perfect but certainly not horrible.

For the crust I went with a common Paleo and gluten free pie crust made from pecans. Grind them up into a nut based ‘flour’ and add the remaining ingredients. Quick and easy in my food processor and took just a few minutes to press into my tart pan. You could probably do this in a pie dish as well but I liked the look of the tart. I thought the final crust came out a little bit dry. I think next time I will use some melted butter or coconut oil to add a bit more moisture.

For the filling I went with a traditional apple pie filling. Peeled and sliced apples with a hint of fresh lemon juice. A dusting of cinnamon and I used honey instead of white sugar for the sweetener. As a thickener I used coconut flour which I would probably not do again since it had a tad bit of a grittiness to it. I think arrowroot powder would be a better choice if you have it! Next time I might add a touch more honey but overall it was very tasty.
I hope you enjoy this Paleo apple pie recipe. I think it is a nice balance between ‘healthy’ and ‘dessert’ and there is very little guilt involved when enjoying it. Of course, the kids had theirs with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream but I have yet to find a Paleo approved ice cream recipe! You don’t happen to have one, do you?

Sounds delicious to me!
i’m starting out with paleo too and this looks good.
I totally have an apple pie craving right now too! Mmmm
My dad is a big pecan fan and I think you’re really getting two pies in one apple and pecan! Sounds delicious!
I wonder if walnuts would give you less of a dry crust? I don’t know how they would hold up though.
Oh my word that looks so good. Thanks for sharing I can’t wait to make it.
