# Paleo Crumb Pies This Autumnally Appropriate Grain-Free Pie Recipe is Vegan and AIP-Friendly By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-10-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grainfree-pie References: [tasty-yummies](http://tasty-yummies.com/2015/10/13/grain-free-apple-berry-crumb-pie-paleo-with-vegan-and-aip-options/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Grain-free Baking:** The popularity of grain-free diets and demand for alternative baked goods presents opportunities to innovate in the baking industry. - **Dietary-restriction-friendly Recipes:** Catering to those with dietary restrictions, such as paleo, vegan, and AIP, can be a key differentiator for food blogs and recipe websites. - **Vegan and Dairy-free Desserts:** Increasing demand for vegan and dairy-free desserts provides opportunities for food businesses to create and market innovative plant-based dessert options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Baking:** Alternative flours and ingredients for grain-free baking offer opportunities for disruption in the baking industry from niche companies or startups. - **Food Blogging:** Creation and promotion of dietary-restriction-friendly recipes in niche markets can lead to growth and engagement for food bloggers and recipe websites. - **Plant-based Food:** Meeting the demand for vegan and dairy-free dessert options can create opportunities for innovation in the plant-based food industry, especially in bakery and dessert markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Nut Butter Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-peanut-butter-crunch-pie.md) - [Seasonal Free-From Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-roots-vegan-bakery.md) - [Crumbly Apple Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crumble-pie.md) - [Almond Butter Hand Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berryfields.md) - [Bite-Sized Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bite-sized-pie.md) - [Apple Pie Açaí Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-pie-bowl.md) - [Pie-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-summer-pie-series.md) - [Ready-to-Bake Pastry Doughs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-pie-pastry-dough.md) - [Modernized Thanksgiving Pie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbl-thanksgiving-pies.md)
