HEALTHY BERRY PIE

HEALTHY BERRY PIE





ALMOND FLOUR CRUST:               
2 & 1/2 cups almond flour                                   
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract


BERRY PIE FILLING:
1 & 1/2 cup Blueberries,  
3/4th's cup blackberries, 
1/2 cup raspberries
2 Tbsp's lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
1 Tbsp maple syrup
 2 Tbsp's coconut oil
a few sprinkles of stevia (optional)
2 Tbsp's Arrowroot


For crust:
Turn oven on to 350.
1. In a food processor, mix the dry ingredients together.  Melt the coconut oil and mix with vanilla and maple syrup, then add to dry ingredients and blend until it forms a doughy consistency.  This only takes a minute or two.  You don't want the dough to be too wet so add a little more almond flour if it feels to sticky or wet. 
2.  Grease a 9 inch pie pan, then place dough in pan and mold it to pan evenly.
3.  Place pie crust in oven and bake 10 minutes or until crust is golden color.
4.  Remove from oven.  

For filling:
1.  Place a large skillet over medium heat.   
2. Add coconut oil, lemon juice, maple syrup and stir until melted.  Add cinnamon and nutmeg.
3.  Add all the filling ingredients to the pan and stir to combine. 
4.  Cook on medium heat until fruit begins to soften and liquify. 
5.  Add arrowroot and stir until filling begins to thicken, then remove from heat.
6.  Pour the filling into the pie crust and allow to cool. 
Enjoy!!
