Peach Pie

Fall is putting me in the mood for pie, but I wanted a nice crisp crust.  So I used the idea of a graham cracker crust to make a yummy crunchy almond cookie as the base.  Top with your favorite fruit filling that you cook on the stove.  Enjoy...


Peach Pie

Crust:
2 cups almond flour
4 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup your choice of sugar (regular, honey, brown sugar, maple syrup....)
dash of salt

Filling:
5 cups of your favorite fruit (peeled and sliced if necessary)
1/2 cup sugar

and I use a 1/2 tsp fresh nutmeg for my peaches (cinnamon for apples)
1 pack of unflavored gelatin to thicken


For the crust, cut the butter into the flour, sugar, and salt.  Pat into the base of your pan.  Bake at 350 until just starting to golden (about 12-15 minutes). Let cool.

Meanwhile cook your fruit, sugar, and spices on the stove until fruit is softened.  Soften gelatin in warm water then mix into the hot fruit mixture.  Remove from heat, let cool to room temp then pour over crust and serve.
