This Deep Dish Apple Pie with Crumb Topping is the perfect fall dessert. This easy to make and 100% healthy dessert is made of 100% real food ingredients. It is gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, flourless, egg-free and full of flavor!
Fall is by far my favorite season of the year. September in particular. I love how nature changes. The colors, the smell, the weather. Not too hot, nor too cold. Just perfect. I’d live in September all year long.
And when I think about fall, recipes like beef bourguignon, butternut squash soup, pumpkin everything and… apple pie immediately come to my mind.
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than a warm slice of apple pie topped with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Deep Dish Apple Pie with Crumb Topping
Well, ok ok… Maybe a huge, decadent and gooey slice of chocolate cake would also do the trick. 😉
What I prefer about this recipe is the fact that it is completely guilt-free! Yes, it is still a dessert. It is a bit heavy on the calorie side.
BUT!
It is made with 100% unprocessed ingredients and will comply with most of the popular trending diets, except maybe for paleo. Oats are not allowed on the caveman diet.
I brought a slice of this pie over to some of my friends the other day and if I didn’t tell them that this recipe was made without the use of flour or any other processed/unhealthy ingredients, they would’ve never guessed it.
This recipe is also pretty simple to make. No fussy or complicated steps for this one.
Mix. Dump. Bake. Done.
Which apple did I use?
A mix of Granny Smith and Golden Delicious. Both make delicious pie and I heard that mixing two or three different varieties in the same recipe was wonderful.
Whoever said that was absolutely right.
What a tasty dessert!
