Gluten-free apple pie

Just because you’re on a gluten-free diet doesn’t mean you have to give up on your favorite desserts. Every meal has its healthier variant, so does apple pie. Believe me, this is the crispiest and the tastiest pie you’ll ever try. You can enrich it with vanilla topping, as I did. The recipe is a little more complex, but it’s worth the effort.

Preparation time: 1 hour 15 minutes and 4-6 hours to cool down
Servings: 10-12

Apple pie ingredients:
4 cup apples, peeled, diced

Pie instructions:
1. Mix chopped apple, cinnamon, cardamom, and coconut sugar in a large bowl.
