Favorite time of year.

It’s fall y’all. At least it should be. I mean, it is halfway through October, after all. But down here in the perpetually sunny south, it’s still in the mid-80’s. And humid.

But it’s still fall. And regardless of how hot it is, it’s still a little bit cooler than summer. And since fall is my favorite time of year, I’ll take what I can get!

Pie time.

One of the reasons that fall is my favorite time of year is that suddenly it’s appropriate to eat pie. Now, I’m all for eating pie year-round, but at least I feel socially acceptable doing it in the fall.

A few of my favorite gluten-free pies:

I first came up with this pie filling while working on my GAPS/paleo French Apple Pie recipe. That will be coming soon, I promise. But it still needs a little work in the crust area.

Thankfully, the filling area is perfect! This instant pot apple pie filling is sooooo good you don’t even need a pie crust to enjoy it. Seriously.

I’ve eaten it for breakfast.

And for a nap-time snack (so I don’t have to share with my kids).

My hubby asks for it for no particular reason.

And yes, it’s great in pies, too. 😉

Allergy-friendly.

Since I can’t eat any starches (other than what’s in veggies), or refined sugars or dairy, this Instant Pot apple pie filling is pretty safe for all allergy sufferers. Unless you can’t eat fruit, I guess. Sorry.

The juice at the bottom is pretty juicy, so I strain it out for pies, just to make sure it doesn’t make the crust too soggy. If you can have tapioca, you can stir in a little of that to thicken it up.
