I am about to share a highly coveted recipe here folks.  I created this dessert about 12 years ago.  I’ve never liked apple pie, I know I’m a freak to some of you, but the texture never did it for me.  So when I was asked to bring an apple pie to my new hubby’s family holiday I cringed.  Yes I could have bought something, but that's not my style, so I made this.  It was gone, before everyone even got a piece and it's a must make every year since.  This recipe is made even more tasty by adding in oils.  But if you don’t have the oils, sub in 2 Tbsp. pumpkin or apple pie spice.  Serve this baby with caramel sauce and vanilla bean ice cream and I promise you too will be making it every year or all year long. 
Apple Crumble Tort

  • 5 granny smith apples, peeled & sliced thin
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp arrow root powder or cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp apple sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Apple Cider
  • 1 drop cinnamon bark vitality
  • 1 drop ginger & 1 drop nutmeg vitality
  • 3/4 cups flour (Young Living Einkorn is best)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Pie dough (from scratch is best)

  1. Freeze pie in tort shell or dish for 1 hr.  
  2. Blind bake (pre-bake) with parchment paper to cover & pie weights (or dried beans) for 10 min. at 350
  3. Remove parchment paper and weights, and bake for another 10 min.  
  4. In a large skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter, add apples, 1/4 cup of sugar.  
  5. In a small bowl mix apple cider & arrowroot powder, then add to skillet.  
  6. Bring to a boil.
  7. Remove from heat & add oils and apple sauce.  
  8. Chill for 30 minutes then fill crust.  
  9. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, & salt until crumble forms.
  10. Top pie and bake at 350 for 50 minutes.

Serve with caramel sauce (homemade is best) and Vanilla Bean ice cream, and I promise you'll never look back and you won't want to share!
