Apple, Peanut Butter and Granola Pie

Course Dessert

Ingredients

For the crust, gather these pantry staples:

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold cubed butter
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cold water

And for the luscious filling:

  • 6 honeycrisp apples finely sliced (6-8 cups, depending on your preference)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Top it all off with a delightful granola topping:

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 435°F.
  • Mix the sliced apples with the filling ingredients (excluding peanut butter) and set aside.
  • Combine the granola ingredients and set them aside.
  • Prepare the pie crust and transfer it into a 9-inch pan.
  • Layer half of the apples in the pan, drizzle half of the peanut butter, then add the remaining apples and peanut butter. The apples may look domed, but they’ll settle as they cook. Top it all off with the granola.
  • Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes at 435°F. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes to achieve a golden top. To check if the pie is done, insert a knife and ensure the apples are soft.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and savoring! For an extra treat, microwave your slice for 15 seconds and serve with cold vanilla coconut yogurt. Delight in the goodness of this Thanksgiving masterpiece!
