2. Mix almond flour and salt in a food processor to blend. Add remaining ingredients and blend until a ball of dough is formed.

4. Fill a large bowl with water and add 2 TBSP of lemon juice.

8. Remove wet cloth and pour apple mixture into pie crust. Bake for 45-55 minutes until crust is golden and mixtures is bubbling on top.
