Fresh from the oven, flourless and wholesome, this Gluten Free Apple Crumb Pie will be a huge crowd pleaser at your holiday table.
It's my birthday today!
Eh, it's just another day, right? My kids are so crazy excited for my birthday, I think they expect presents too! My ten year old asked me what I am making for the "special birthday breakfast" (I always make them somethings special on their birthdays) and I think it's hilarious that they expected me to make myself something special on MY birthday. I guess I did make myself this pie for my birthday so that's a little weird.
Ah....gotta love kids...
This pie is my everything. Fresh baked apples, autumn spices and walnuts....always walnuts. They give such a wonderful, nutty texture to the crust, I promise you won't miss the traditional pie crust!
And I don't know about you, but put crumb topping on just about anything and I am overjoyed. I can't get enough of crumb topping.
I mean, it is MY birthday.
Today I plan on enjoying time with my family. Since I don't care much about my own birthday, it's a great excuse for us all to be together. No sports. No video games. Just simple family time. And maybe this apple pie.
And a scoop of ice cream (duh!)

I made this pie and it is really good! I
just have a question about the
crust. Mine turned out a bit soggy. I pulsed it for quite a bit but it never really formed a dough type ball and it was pretty sticky. I did follow the instructions. Thought maybe you would have some suggestions. Thanks
