Gluten Free Apple Pecan Pie

It’s always fun purchasing items from the farmers market and seeing what foods you can make with fresh, local ingredients. This weeks inspiration was something a little more sweet! I found freshly milled oat flour by Purely Oats and an apple pecan pie filling by Jammin’ Out Jelly and thus, our gluten free (and vegan!) apple pecan pie was made possible. Luckily, I only had to use one ingredient that was not bought from the market and that was coconut oil. Spoiler alert- this recipe is not for those with nut allergies

What you’ll need: Mixing bowl, pie pan

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of oat flour by Purely Oats

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup coconut oil (must be solid at room temp)

1/4 cup cold water

2 jars of apple pecan pie filling by Jammin’ Out Jelly

Directions:

1. Add the oat flour, salt and coconut oil to a large mixing bowl.

2. Add the water and knead. (If your dough is still too crumbly, add more water 1 tbsp at a time. Kneading well between each addition of water.) *When you’re done, the dough should be somewhat smooth and soft to the touch but have a firm density.

   3. Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper.

   4. Add another piece of parchment over the dough and roll flat.

   5. Remove the top layer of your parchment paper and turn the dough over onto your pie pan. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.

6. Press the dough into your pie pan, working it with your fingers until you have nice and even coverage over your pan. Poke a few holes into the dough with a fork

7. Repeat the steps above for the top portion of your pie.

8. Once your dough is done, pour both jars of the pie filling into the pie pan.

9. Cover the top of your pie with the second piece of dough. Trim all excess pieces of dough and crimp sides of pie crust with a fork. Make sure there are a few holes at the top of the pie

10. Place in oven and bake on 350 for about 20 minutes*

*Time can vary depending on type of oven, size of pan, thickness of dough, etc. Keep an eye on your dough and make your best judgement if it starts to look too done or not done enough.
