Blackberry Pie

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 2/3 cup coconut sugar
• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
• 2 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 2/3 cup brown rice flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca flour

Filling:

• 7 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
• 2/3 cup maple syrup or raw honey
• 1/3 cup arrowroot or tapioca starch
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

To make the crust, combine the ground flaxseeds, applesauce, coconut sugar, and coconut oil in a bowl. Whisk until uniform.

In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, brown rice flour, and tapioca flour.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until you get a uniform, soft dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

Separate 1/4 of the dough for the topping and set aside. Roll the rest of the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper, then transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Using your hands, press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the dish. You can use a glass to flatten the bottom. Prick the dough a few times with a fork. Refrigerate until needed.

Roll out the remaining dough and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. Refrigerate until needed.

To make the filling, combine the blackberries, maple syrup, arrowroot, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until you get a very thick mixture.

Transfer the filling into the prepared crust and arrange the dough cut-outs on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden.

Cool pie completely before serving.
