Make apple sauce by grating one large Bramly apple, adding one tablespoon of honey and half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, then cooking on high heat with a splash of water for 1-2 minutes.

Blend 200 g of gluten-free oats to make oat flour for the pie crust.

Add 140 g of almond meal to the oat flour.

Incorporate melted coconut oil into the mixture to create the crust.

Cook the apple sauce for 4-5 minutes until it breaks down, then transfer it to a bowl.

Slice 800 g of a mixture of sweeter and tarter apples into thin slices and cook them in a pot with about 2 tablespoons of orange juice on medium heat to soften them.

Prepare an almond maple syrup by mixing 6 tablespoons of orange juice, 2 tablespoons of almond butter, 4 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan, heating until melted and combined.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the pie crust for 15 minutes without weights.

Layer the softened apples in the pie crust, starting from the outside and working inward like dominoes.

Drizzle the almond maple syrup over the layered apples and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
