What would the holidays be without delicious apple pie?!
Here is a delicious and healthy pie for any special occasion. The crust is made without any added oils, as the Brazil nuts' natural oils help make the crust perfectly tasty.
I make this pie with gluten-free flour, but you can certainly use white or whole-wheat pastry flour instead.

delicious apple pie filling
When harvesting our apples, I make a big batch of this yummy pie filling to use during autumn and winter. It delivers just the right amount of sweetness, fragrant flavors, and creaminess.
It is perfect for pie and can also be enjoyed on its own with ice cream, waffles, or pancakes!
I also love the fact that it can make the ideal gift for someone, which they can use for all the upcoming holidays. Simply bottle it up in a beautiful Ball® pint jar tied with a beautiful ribbon, and it is ready to go!

mini apple dessert treats
I love making these bite-sized treats for family or holiday gatherings. They look so fun on a dessert table, and they are the perfect size when you are looking for a less-guilty sweet treat that will still satisfy you!
All three of these versions are more or less the same, they just look a tad different and have different toppings.
The first variation is mini apples coated with dark chocolate and sprinkled with pecans and shredded coconut.
The second one is almost the same, but the apples are also drizzled with caramel sauce and finished off with sea salt.
My last version has a more Christmas theme to it!
