Equipment

half sheet baking pan or any large baking pan
large mixing bowl

Ingredients

Paleo Pie Crust dough which also has the great AIP & Vegan variation (see the Notes section of the recipe)
4 to 5 cups apple slices peeled
¼ cup maple syrup to sweeten -- or similar, such as agave
2 Tablespoons water
4 teaspoons tapioca flour
2 teaspoons granulated sweetener : maple sugar, coconut sugar or cane sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon For VAD: use ginger in place of cinnamon if you wish.
optional sea salt 1 to 3 pinches

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375℉.
After making the pie dough: Roll out dough between two layers of parchment paper. Transfer to baking sheet, and remove top piece of parchment.
Fill mixing bowl with sliced apples, maple syrup, tapioca flour, water, cinnamon and optional sea salt. Stir well to mix. (This mixture becomes the apple filling, with a mildly sweet, thick and juicy sauce surrounding the apples.)
Spoon filling onto pie dough (excluding juices from the bowl), leaving a border of about 2". Fold over edges. Sprinkle and press granulated sweetener over pastry edges. Give an optional sprinkle of cinnamon on the edges as well.
Right before baking in preheated oven, pour juices from the bowl over fruit filling.
Bake about 35 minutes. Cool slightly or completely, cut and serve in wedges.
(If the apples appear dry after baking, that's fine and delicious [because the thick juices and "goo" are underneath]. But if you want them to look more syrupy, drizzle a very small amount of maple syrup or agave over key pieces, and use one finger to kind of paint the tops of certain apple pieces. I did this for the photos, but it's not necessary.)
Serve with optional whipped cream or ice cream.
