Here is our recommended recipe for people with Type 2 diabetes.
𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:
🥄200 g ground almonds/almond flour (2 cups)
🥄100 g tapioca flour (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon)
🥄80 g coconut flour (1/2 cup)
🥄1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
🥄½ teaspoon nutmeg
🥄½ teaspoon ginger
🥄1 large egg + 1 egg yolk (beaten in 2 separate bowls)
🥄1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
🥄1 tablespoon of sweetener
🥄6 tablespoons of water (for the crust)
𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐮 𝐬𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐞:
🥄🥄5 large apples, peeled, cored and diced
🥄🥄4 cups of water
🥄🥄1 tablespoon of sweetener (add more/less if you prefer a sweeter filling)
🥄🥄1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ tablespoon coconut oil
👩🏻🍳𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C / 350 ° F
2. Lightly grease a pie pan and set aside.
3. Put the dry ingredients in a large bowl: ground almonds, tapioca flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sweetener. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
4. Add 1 large beaten egg to the mixture and stir to form a crumb-like mixture.
5. Add the coconut oil at room temperature, stirring constantly until all the ingredients are combined..
6. Slowly add the water, continuing to mix until the mixture comes together and forms a ball of dough. Then start kneading the dough with your hands. If the mixture feels too dry, keep adding a little water at a time until the dough is more pliable.
7. Put three quarters of the dough in the prepared pie dish. Press it evenly into the dish with your fingers. Use a fork to make a few air holes in the bottom of the pie crust.
8. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the crust is very lightly browned and set.
9. While the crust is baking, roll out the remaining dough on parchment paper and start cutting either strips or shapes to decorate the pie.
10. Remove the crust from the oven and fill it with pie filling (see below for how to make apple pie filling).
11. Arrange the dough strips/cutouts over the filling. Brush the top crust with the remaining egg yolk. Bake for another 25 minutes or until the filling appears bubbly and the crust is golden.
12. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving, and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for another 5 days.
👩🏻🍳🥧𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠:
◦🍎In a large saucepan, add the apples, cinnamon, sweetener, and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until the apples are soft and the water has evaporated. Add more water by the cup if needed.
◦🍎Remove from the heat (if there is excess water, drain it, as you only need the applesauce).
◦🍎Stir in the coconut oil, and if you think it needs more sweetness, add more sweetener.
◦🍎Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and bake again, or if you are not using it immediately, cool and store in an airtight container for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months (thaw before use).
