This grain-free pie recipe is perfect for people who have dietary restrictions but also have a serious sweet tooth. From Beth at the food blog Tasty Yummies, the apple and berry crumb pie is suitable for those who adhere to a paleo diet. It can also be easily altered for vegans and the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).
Perfect for the fall season, the grain-free pie features a chewy and flaky crust, plus a tart fruit filling. Beth used a combination of apples, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries, but you could easily go for a mixture of apples and boysenberries instead. For serving, you can add a dollop of whipped coconut cream or even a homemade dairy-free ice cream.
