Special Apple Pie And Coconut Cream For Christmas

Christmas always comes with joy, every family gathers to celebrate it. The Christmas tree went up and cookies were baked. Lights were strung on the eaves of the garage. This is a day where everyone can gather with their families and be full of joy.

When all family members get together, it will not be perfect without special food to eat. Special food always brings more fun and intimate atmosphere. If you do not have an idea to make food for your family in christmas, we will give you something that you can cook and be special food for your family.

This is my favorite healthy Christmas apple pie recipe! I love having a classic dessert for Christmas and during the festive season, and (to me) nothing is more classic than an apple pie for Christmas dessert. This recipe is 100% gluten, wheat, dairy and refined sugar-free.

APPLE PIE and COCONUT CREAM RECIPES

Ingredients:

-3 free-ranged eggs

-2 tablespoons coconut flour

-4 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup

-1/2 cup chopped raw pecans (or walnuts)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degree’s Celsius (340 F)
2. Core the apples and cut into thin slices (long, thin slices – about half a cm thick)
3. Melt the coconut oil by pouring boiling water into a large bowl and a placing smaller bowl into the water (without burning your hands or getting water into the small bowl), then place the coconut oil into the small bowl and wait for it to melt
4. Mix the eggs, pure maple syrup, almond flour, coconut flour, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt together in a bowl
5. Add the melted coconut oil and mix until well blended
6. Add the apple slices, chopped walnuts & raisins to the bowl and gently mix them into the pie batter
7. Using a tiny bit of extra coconut oil, grease your pie dish (use a 800 ml/9 inch pie dish)
8. Pour the pie batter into the pie dish and spread the batter evenly with a spoon
9. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes (the pie is ready when you can pierce the pie with a sharp knife and it comes out clean)

(serves 8-12)

RECIPE For Coconut Cream

Ingredients (3 Ingredients):

-1 x 414 ml can coconut cream or full fat coconut milk (14-ounce can)

-1/4 to 1/2 cup fine or powdered sugar (I use fine/ powdered coconut sugar, optional)

-1/2 to 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

-Tiny pinch cinnamon (optional)

Instructions 

1. Place the coconut cream or coconut milk in the fridge overnight to get more chilled, but be careful not to shake or tip the can (this may cause separation of the cream and liquid – which you don’t want)
2. After being in the fridge overnight, place a large mixing bowl in the fridge to get cold 10 minutes before making the coconut cream
3. Remove the coconut cream or milk from the fridge (be really careful not to shake the can or tip the lid) and then carefully remove the lid
4. You want to carefully scoop out the thickened cream from the top of the can without removing the liquid (leave the liquid behind, which you can use for other things, like adding to oatmeal or smoothies, etc.)
5. Add the hardened cream to the cold mixing bowl, and beat the hard cream for 30 seconds or so (using an electric beater is easier/ or a mixer) until it’s creamy
6. You can then optionally add vanilla extract, cinnamon or powdered sugar (if I do add sugar, it will be fine/ powdered coconut sugar) and mix again until it’s creamy and smooth (30 sec to 2 min)
7. Serve with your fave dessert (like this healthy apple pie) and keep in the fridge what you’re not using right away
8. Take note that it will become harder again when in the fridge (and the longer it’s kept in the fridge) and set in the fridge the longer it’s chilled.
9. You can keep the coconut cream for about a week in the fridge (in an airtight container)

Although it looks simple but it can be a special food for your christmas. This is a secret way to make your home feel more intimate and fun when Christmas comes.

Merry Christmas 2017
