YOU GUYS! This is probably one of my favorite recipe creations I’ve ever made! Everyone loves apple pie, everyone loves pumpkin pie..so, why not combine the two? I’m sure I can’t be the first person to think of combining these two fall favorite ingredients to make one delicious pie, but I promise you this recipe is a baking game changer. The pie can be a little messy but HEY, what pie recipe do you know that’s not messy BUT delicious?! Pie is meant to be fun and messy so, go with it!
Apples are an excellent source of plant based fiber, disease fighting antioxidants and help protect against diseases like cancer, alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. I say it in all of my recipe posts, nature has provided us with exactly what our body needs. Whole plant foods from the earth provide our body with optimal nutrition and wellness, if eaten close to their natural, earth’s state as possible.
Pumpkin is another excellent source of plant based fiber, and a great digestive aid. Pumpkin helps regulate the digestive system helping manage weight loss and help boost eye sight. Pumpkin is becoming an increasingly popular ingredient in soups, sauces, and salads. So..EAT UP!
Using my Clean Coconut Flour Pie Crust recipe, I created this apple-pumpkin combination filling on a whim using common clean ingredients, it’s super easy to make and insanely light, and delicious!
