Dutch Apple Pie with Gluten Free Topping..

I’ve been working on this recipe a few years..and it’s as good as I have ever had..gluten free or not..

Apples;

8 apples of your choice, I like red delicious. Core and slice them, remove the peels from half of them.

1/4 cup sugar, I like Demarara sugar

1/2 t. cinnamon

1/8 t. salt

2 T. butter

1/2 cup raisins (or blueberries or raspberries)

1/3 cup coconut cream

Sauté the sliced apples in butter, covered, on medium-low until softened and almost clear looking.  Halfway through cooking add sugar. Drain, reserving liquid.

Melt butter in saucepan. Place apples back in saucepan. Add sugar, raisins, spices, cook 5 minutes.  Add coconut cream, warm until it is all melted in apples.

Streusel;

1 cup almonds, chopped coarsly

3/4 cup rice flour

1/3 cup Demarara sugar

3 T. corn meal

7 T butter

Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough is in pea size pieces. Bake on a cookie sheet on parchment paper in a 300 degree oven. Stir often because the outside browns quickly, but do not break up the pieces.

Slide off of the paper onto the apples in a pie dish.  Bake until just brown on top.
