apple crumble pie with Lane’s BBQ dessert apple pie seasoning

We are big fans of Golden Barrels’ Paleo Apple Pie Crumb Bars. The shortbread crust, the apple centre and crunchy top combine really well. It’s great served warm with custard or ice-cream and if you’re after a quick snack it’s tasty just on it’s own. They are also vegan, dairy and gluten free. The crust is easy to work with can be pressed into a square tin or rolled flat and transferred into a pie tin. We have experimented with the topping and found that the addition of gluten free rolled oats and replacing the pecan nuts with almond flakes makes a more traditional crumble topping.

We had a great time converting the recipe into a apple crumble pie. It can be baked in your kitchen oven but also works well in the BBQ, we use our Weber Kettle. The ingredients and Thermomix directions below are for our version of the slice and pie.
