Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 1 hour

Filling Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cranberries
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 apple, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup pineapple, diced
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot starch

Preheat oven to 350 degrees ºF.

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, 2/3 cup arrowroot starch, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening, vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey until mixture is crumbly. Slowly add in a little water while mixing until dough forms.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4″ thick. Place dough in a deep dish pie plate. Save any remaining dough to make a lattice top crust if desired.

In a saucepan, bring cranberries, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup raw honey to a boil. Simmer about 10 minutes until cranberries have popped and most of water is absorbed. In a large bowl, combine cranberry mixture, pineapple, apple, cinnamon and 1/4 cup arrowroot starch. Pour into pie crust. Top with lattice crust or a whole crust top if desired.

Bake for about 40-50 minutes or until crust starts to brown.
