Apple Pie that is vegan and gluten free! Last night I had the urge to make crock pot applesauce. Just thinking about it reminds me of the applesauce my great grandmother used to make when I was little.
After I gathered all the ingredients, made the apple sauce, and tasted the final product, I immediately thought to make a homemade apple pie. Here in Dallas today, its cold and overcast. Just perfect for staying in and enjoying some comfort food.
I re-vamped this recipe to make it gluten free as well as paleo friendly. It’s super easy! I made the apples in the crock pot, but you can probably to it in the instant pot as well.
