Fat-Free Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 2 cups gluten-free oat flour
• ½ cup tapioca flour
• ½ cup applesauce
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Filling:

• 2 ½ cups pumpkin puree
• ⅔ cup water
• 2 ½ tbsp arrowroot flour or tapioca starch
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
• ¼ cup coconut sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla paste or alcohol-free vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oat flour and tapioca flour. Stir until evenly mixed. Add applesauce and pure maple syrup and mix/knead until you get a soft dough that’s not sticky. Add more oat flour or applesauce to achieve this consistency.

Roll 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.

Make the filling by adding the pumpkin puree, water, arrowroot flour, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla paste/alcohol-free vanilla extract and pumpkin spice to a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared crust and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the crust is golden, and the filling is set.

Remove the pie from the oven and cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour, then transfer to the fridge and cool for a further 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

Serves 6-8
