04.Oct.2008 I put a spelt on you.
this baby is your standard apple pie with almond meal crumbles on top, but it’s the crust that makes it my new favorite kid on the block.
I’ve had the recipe written down on a piece of paper since I can’t remember when, which unfortunately means I have no indication of where I got it from. yet another proof that sporadic lack of organizational skills is a bad thing. but it’s okay: I’ll go drown my sorrow in pie, now.
for a single crust:
1 1/2 cups light spelt flour (lightly spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup mild-flavored oil
mix all these ingredients in a medium bowl, with a couple of forks to begin with, and with your hands at last. or use your food processor, it’ll be even easier.
shape into a ball, flatten down, and press into a prepared pie tin. you can also roll it out, if you dare. I personally prefer going the lazy way since it doesn’t hurt the crust a bit.
I used a 6″ x 2″ round cake pan, it makes for a deeper pie, which I sorta like.
pre-bake at 375F for 10 minutes, put filling in and bake all the way for 40 minutes, depending on what you fill it with of course.
