Ingredients

For this recipe, you'll need fresh apples, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

Selecting the Apples

Opt for firm, sweet-tart apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to achieve the best balance of flavors and textures.

Making the Crust

In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt until the mixture forms a dough.

Rolling the Dough

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish, ensuring an even thickness.

Combine the sliced apples with honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice, tossing until the apples are well-coated.

Topping the Pie

Roll out the remaining dough and create a lattice or full top crust, crimping the edges to seal.

Baking Time

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
