Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 1 hour

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/3 cup coconut flour
• 2/3 cup arrowroot starch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  1/2 cup palm shortening or butter
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• 1/4 cup cold water

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.
