Mini Candy Apple Protein Pie

mini pie.jpg

Ingredients | Crust

1 scoop cinnamon casein protein powder (I used Cinnamon Bun from Dymatize Elite)
¼ cup coconut flour
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
4 drops liquid stevia (I used English Toffee)
¼ Tbsp coconut oil


Ingredients | Butterscotch Fluff
¼ cup plain greek yogurt
4g sugar free butterscotch pudding mix
4 drops liquid stevia (I used English Toffee)
2 Tbsp agave syrup
2 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
 

Ingredients | Apple Filling
1 medium granny smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced (about 6 oz)
 

Ingredients | Cinnamon Glaze
1 Tbsp sugar free maple syrup
½ tbsp. ground cinnamon

Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini pie dish with non-stick cooking spray


Combine all crust ingredients, except coconut oil, and mix together with a fork (I used a fork to ensure it crust came out with the right texture. You’ll want it slightly crumbly but able to stick together and form a ball of dough).
 

Evenly press & mold crust dough into pie dish. Melt coconut oil is a separate small bowl and brush the top of molded crust with oil. Make sure not to saturate the crust. Use enough oil to get the top slightly greased. Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
 

Steam apple for about 10 minutes or until softened. (I have a steamer basket, but you can also brush apples with a little coconut oil and bake in oven until they soften.) Set aside to let cool slightly.
 

To make fluff, place all fluff ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy.
 

To make glaze, mix glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.
 

To assemble pie, spoon butterscotch fluff in the cooked pie crust, spreading it along the bottom and sides. Next, place cooked apples in the pie then drizzle with the cinnamon glaze.


*Makes 4 servings/slices

Protein Crepe

protein crepe.jpg

Ingredients

Yields: four very large crepes or two servings
1/4 cup coconut flour
2 tbsp. ground flaxseed
2 eggs
3 egg whites
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Directions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. You can coat your pan with cooking spray if it needs it — mine is fine without.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend them until thoroughly combined. Alternatively, you can combine the ingredients in a large bowl and use your immersion blender to blend them.
Pour the batter into a hot skillet and swirl it around to create a large, thin circle.
Let the crepe cook until bubbles in the batter begin to pop, gently easing up the sides every few moments, about three minutes or less. The crepe is pretty delicate at this point, but you will get the hang of it!
Flip the crepe (it should be slightly golden) and cook the other side until it's firm when touched, another two minutes or so.
Fill and enjoy!
