Cold weather means apple pie (or some version thereof) in my house. Our favorite is this cinnamon-spiked apple tart encased in a pecan crust. Since my boys go gaga for anything involving baked apples, this gluten free apple tart with a high protein, grain free crust doesn't last long around here.
I love that the boys (and their friends) gobble down a treat high in fiber and other nutrients, with a minute amount of added sweetener –this entire dessert has a mere one tablespoon of honey. While super kid-friendly, this not-too-sweet tart also makes a gluten free, dairy free dessert that is rich enough to satisfy discerning palates, hence the place it will take on on our Thanksgiving table next month.
Here are some of my other fall friendly apple recipes:

Yesterday being mother’s day and since my daughter lives in LA and I live in Canada she came up with the idea that we would both make the same dessert,have tea and FaceTime.
My daughter picked this Apple Tart to make since I have Celiac gluten free is my go to.
I have to say it was scrumptious!!
I love your recipes they are simple and tasty.
Thanks for making my Mother’s Day memorable.
Rhona, what a wonderful thing to do for Mother’s Day, a tart with tea on FaceTime! So glad that I was part of your celebration via this dessert :-)
Can I freeze this? If not, what paleo desserts can I freeze?
J, I usually have around a dozen boys here after school snacking on everything I make, so don’t get a chance to freeze much! I have frozen my Paleo Bagels:

Do you have suggestions for pear and peach fillings that would work for this tart?
Christy, what a great idea! I don’t have exact measurements, but it sounds wonderful :-)
Can I make the filling and freeze it to make the tart later? I have lots of apples to process. I was thinking about making applie pie filling and freezing them for use later. Now that I follow a paleo lifestyle, I’m unsure how the ingredients will hold up or if they will be too soggy after I thaw. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Faith, I haven’t tried freezing this so not sure how that would work. If you do experiment please let us know how it goes :-)
Two Q’s – would this work with Pears? and is there an alternative for the arrowroot powder? (What about coconut flour in its place?) I will use the honey and everything else, but thinking about omitting the arrowroot powder. From the comments sounds like it may get a little soggy possibly – even if I keep the honey?
Kris, I think this might work nicely with pears. I’m not so sure about replacing the arrowroot powder. If you do experiment please let us know how it goes :-)
I have substituted tapioca flour for arrowroot powder in many recipes and has worked well.
After I make this tart I will let you know how it worked.
Thanks Karen!
I made this last Friday. The crust wasn’t soggy at all. The test came when I presented a slice to my husband with some whipped coconut cream (with a little vanilla extract in). He said it was honestly one of the best apple tarts he’d ever had. I had to use Cortlands as I couldn’t get Jonagolds, but everything came out wonderfully! In fact, I’m blogging about this pie right now, giving people the links to your recipes! Thanks so much, once again. (He also loves the chile lime mustard chicken)
Jeannette, thanks for letting us know that your husband said this is one of the best apple tarts he’d ever had :-)
Nut allergy. A crust other than pecan?
