1. Ingredients

Pie Crust

1 cup almond flour
1 cup hazelnut flour
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 Tbsp dark brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp Kosher salt

Crumb Topping

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
2 Tbsp dark brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp olive oil

Filling

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick
2 Red Delicious apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick
1 Honeycrisp apple, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp Kosher salt

Toppings & Garnishes

Fat-free whipped topping, optional
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Cinnamon sticks, for garnish (optional)

2. Preparation

Pie Crust

In a medium mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and add the melted butter. Mix together with a rubber spatula or fork until well incorporated. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate or pie pan, spread out evenly, and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the plate or pan. Chill for at least 2 hours before using.

Crumb Topping

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the old fashioned rolled oats, chopped pecans, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg. Drizzle with olive oil and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

Filling

Set an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract stir to combine. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, black pepper and kosher salt. In small batches, sprinkle the sugar mixture over the sliced apples and stir to coat evenly. Fill the prepared pie crust with the apple mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for at least 1 hour before serving (the filling will thicken as it cools and make it easier to cut each slice when serving).

Toppings & Garnishes

If desired, serve the homemade apple pie with whipped topping and garnish with fresh mint leaves and a cinnamon stick.
