Every year for Thanksgiving, I make some version of an apple pie for dessert (caramel apple pie, apple crunch pie, apple crisp, etc.). This year, we made apple cinnamon coffee cake for breakfast and tried a new pie, grain-free pecan pie! Yum! And it was simple to make!
Pie Crust:
2 cups almond meal/flour (I used Trader Joe's brand but I am sure others would work too)
2 Tbsp. melted coconut oil
1 organic egg
sprinkle sea salt
*My food processor broke so this was the fun part, where my daughter and I squished the dough and mixed into a ball. Then, press the dough into a 9 inch pie dish (do not go up to high on the sides).
Filling:
3 organic eggs
1 cup coconut sugar (I used a bit less actually)
2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
1 cup chocolate chunks (I used Enjoy Life brand)
2 cups whole, raw pecans
*Using a hand mixer, combine the eggs, coconut sugar, and coconut oil until well blended.
*Stir in the chocolate chunks and pecans using a spatula.
*Pour filling into unbaked crust and bake at 350 degrees for about 40-50 min. (mine was 45 minutes exactly).
*Allow to cool before devouring (and try not to sneak any of the sweet pecans off the top)!
This was so simple to make, using healthier ingredients and so tasty!
