Paleo Classic Apple Pie

Refined-Sugar Free, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free
 Classic Apple Pie

Note: This crust is fairly thin and may come out crumbly on the bottom. 

To fix this, if you want a thicker crust, try doubling the crust ingredients. This will yield double the thickness of my crust on both sides of the pie. 

Before the oven :)

Ingredients:

• Crust:

• 1 1/2 c almond flour *not almond meal
• 2/3 c coconut oil, solid - not melted
• 1 tsp salt
