  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup butter, soft and at room temperature
  • ice water
  • Pie Filling
  • 4 eggs [3 if using regular 9-1/2" pie plate]]
  • 1-1/2 cups honey [1 cup]
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla [1 teaspoon]
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt [1/2 teaspoon]
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter [4 tablespoons]
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon [1/2 teaspoon]
  • ¾ teaspoon ground allspice [1/2 teaspoon]
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cloves [1/2 teaspoon]
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced thin [1-1/2 apples if using regular 9-1/2" pie plate]

  • 1 cup pecans [3/4 cup]
Instructions
  1. Crust
  2. Measure almond flour, add to a mixing bowl.
  3. Mix in sea salt and cinnamon.
  4. Add soft butter. Mash almond flour and butter together gently with your fingertips, or a fork until it forms crumbly pieces.
  5. Add in a teaspoon of ice water at a time to moisten pie crust. Your goal is to mix lightly with a fork until you have small and some marble sized clumps of dough.
  6. Press into a pie plate. This pie will not have a large crust around the edges, the crust just comes up to the side.
  7. Pie Filling
  8. Scramble eggs in a mixing bowl (scramble well otherwise you may end up with cooked egg white in your pie filling.
  9. Add honey, vanilla, butter and spices. Mix together and it will form a rich caramel looking sauce.
  10. Add apples, cranberries and pecans into the pie crust.
  11. Pour sauce on top.
  12. Cover crust edges with a pie crust protector, or an aluminum foil lip.
  13. Bake at 350°F until pie is set, 35-45 minutes.
