Apple Pie with Caramel Sauce
- Yield: 10 servings
- Prep: 15 minutes
- Cook: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 3cups oats (use certified gluten-free if necessary)
- 1/4cup date syrup (substitute maple or agave if you wish)
- 1/2teaspoon cinnamon
- 1tablespoon coconut oil
- 2cups pitted dates, soaked in water for at least 4 hours
- 1teaspoon coconut oil
- 3 medium apples or 5 small ones
- 1/2teaspoon cinnamon
- Stevia or other natural sweetener to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Put the oats, date syrup, coconut oil and cinnamon in a food processor and blend until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and start to stick together (If the crumbles do not stick together enough, add more syrup or oil).
- Pour the mixture into a pan (I used an 11-inch spring form pan) lined with parchment paper and press in evenly with the back of a spoon.
- Blend the soaked and drained dates with the coconut oil together in a food processor until smooth. Add a little bit more coconut oil if you are having trouble with the blending.
- Pour the sauce over the crust and spread evenly.
- Top the pie with sliced apples mixed with cinnamon and your sweetener of choice if using.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, and the baking time depends on the apples – you don’t want them to get too mushy.
