Ingredients

For the granola crust

• 2 cups of prepared gluten free granola

• 2/3 cup of gluten free flour

•• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

• ¼ cup coconut oil solid

For the filling + apple pie topping

• 1⅓ cups coconut yogurt or other thick

yogurt of your choice

• 1 cup of sliced peeled apples

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple

pie spice

• 2 tablespoons pecans toasted and chopped

• ¼ vanilla bean powder or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Prepare four small tart pans by greasing lightly with coconut oil. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granola, salt and cinnamon. Add the coconut oil and using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands, work the coconut oil into the mixture until it comes together into a course meal with no dry flour remaining.

Divide the granola crust evenly between the four prepared tart pans and use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass to press the crust evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the pans.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until firm to the touch and browned. Let cool completely. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.

When ready to eat, prepare the sautéed apples. In a medium pan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, pecans, vanilla bean powder, and salt.

Sauté for 6-8 minutes or until apples are slightly softened but still crunchy (or until they’re al soft - whatever your preference is).

Immediately before serving, top each tart with ⅓ cup coconut yogurt. Top with sautéed apples. Crown with an extra whole pecan Enjoy!
