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. And it probably will be for another month.

But it’s still fall. And regardless of how hot it is, at least 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 apple pie year-round, but at least I feel socially acceptable doing it in the fall. In fact, I’m all for eating just about every pie year round…

If you’re a fellow pie-lover, here are a few of my favorite gluten-free pies:

Instant Pot apple pie filling.

I first came up with this pie filling while working on a GAPS/paleo French apple pie recipe. That will be coming soon, I promise. At least I hope. 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)…

And for dinner when I forgot to plan something…

My hubby asks for it for no particular reason…

And yes, it’s great in pies, too. 😉

Apple Pie Filling with pie

Allergy-friendly.

Since I don’t really 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. Then I’m sorry for your loss.

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.

Instant Pot Apple Pie Filling

Free from grain, gluten, eggs, dairy, and refined sugar.

Ingredients

Instructions

Wash apple and chop into 1/2 to 1-inch cubes. You can peel the apples if you like, but I like the skins on!

Place the chopped apples in the Instant Pot liner along with the water. I use the Instant Pot Duo 6 quart 7-in-1.

Place spices, honey, salt, and vanilla on top of the apples and give it a stir to combine.

Set the Instant Pot on manual and press the ‘-/+’ button to 2 minutes.

When the Instant Pot is done, do the quick release.

Use with your favorite pie crust, or store in a sealed jar in the fridge. Or eat with a spoon… 

Notes

Makes enough filling for two 9-inch pies.
