Servings
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup and 2 tablespoons Einkorn All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Avocado Oil This is one recipe in which coconut oil does not work
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sucanat or Coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cold Water
Filling
- 6-8 Green Apples Peeled and Sliced
- 1/4 cup Einkorn Flour
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca
- 2/3 cup Sucanat or Coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
Crumb Topping
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1/4 cup Sucanat or Coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup Einkorn Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Directions
Crust
1. Mix dry ingredients in bowl.
2. Add wet ingredients. This recipe is about consistency more than exact measurements. This is a starting point, but if the dough is too wet, you need to keep adding flour until right.
3. Roll out between sheets of wax paper until circular 1/8 inch thick.
4. Peel off one sheet of wax paper. Lay dough face down over pie plate. Carefully peel off other piece of wax paper.
5. Press a fork into the edge. Repeat all the way around.
6. Pre-bake crust without filling at 350º for 8 minutes. It doesn’t need to be completely done, just enough not to get soggy.
7. Add Filling and topping and bake at 375º for 45 minutes covered with tin foil and another 15 minutes uncovered.
Filling
1. Peel and slice apples.
2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let juice up stirring occasionally.
3. Let sit in juice for five minutes.
4. Add to pre-baked crust.
Crumb Topping
1. Place all ingredients in a bowl.
2. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
3. Sprinkle on top of filling once in pie pan.

what is the purpose of the tapioca in with the apples?
Hi Julie, the tapioca helps to create that clear and thick pie filling texture.
Tapioca Flour?
Hi Jami, nope this calls for tapioca granules (Like you would use for tapioca pudding) not flour. It helps the filling have the right texture.
Enjoyed this recipe
Would like some recipes using your flour. New to this.
Hi Carolyn, thank you for your interest. If a recipe on our website uses all-purpose flour, we specify so you can type that in and see all the recipes that call for it. There are also a lot of recipes for all-purpose einkorn flour on the internet if you do a google search. Hopefully that will help you find some resources to help you get started.
If I don’t have avocado oil on hand and coconut doesn’t work, will grapeseed oil work as a substitute?? Thank you…Maggie
Hi Maggie, any oil you feel ok about eating should work fine in this recipe.
How long do we bake the pie
Susan, it’s found in step 7. You add filling and topping and bake at 375º for 45 minutes covered with tin foil and another 15 minutes uncovered. I hope you enjoy the pie!
Eager to try this recipe.
