FRENCH CHARM APPLE PIE, vegan, gluten free

For the crust she needed:

• 2 dl of dark rice flower
• 2 dl corn starch, Maizena
• 1 dl brown sugar
• 150 g margarine, if not vegan you can use butter
• Pinch of salt

She combined all ingredients into a bowl.

Mixed and knead the dough to combine all ingredients very well. She placed it evenly in a 22 cm pie baking mold.

Before putting into the oven, glaze the surface with dates.

Use:

• 3 tablespoons of ice cold water
• 8 dates

Put the dates and water in a food processor and smooth into liquid. Pur it on top of the pie crust and spread evenly to cover the crust.

Bake the crust for about 7 to 9 minutes in 200 C oven.

Crust:

• 2 dl sun flower seeds
• 1 dl sesame seeds
• 8 dates
• 1 dl rice flower
• 1 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons cloves
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of chili powder

Put again all in food processor and make a smooth dough.

Press the dough evenly on a pie pan.

For the filling you need:

• 10 apples
• 1 dl melted margarine or butter if you are not vegan
• 1 dl jam sugar
• 1 juice of a lime
• Water

Wash and slice the apples.

Combine about 1 liter of water and the lime juice. Cut and slice the apples.

Put the apple slices in the lime juice water. Heat in microwave oven until they are softened. About 10 minutes. This makes the apple slices softer for easier way to arrange on top of the pie.

In a separate bowl combine melted margarine and jam sugar. Put the apple slices in the mixture. This way the slices get a nice glow, and they stack well together in the pedal arrangement.

Add the pedals from the outer circle towards the inner circle of the pie.

Bake the pie in 200 C oven for about 20-30. Turn the oven to 275 C and put the grill mode on. It gives nice color to the rose pedals. When slightly brown the pie is ready.
