Guilt free apple pie

Clean apple pie?!?! oh yes i did!!! I have a huge sweet tooth and i love to bake. Im always trying to come up with a healthy version of my favorite guilty pleasures. Apples have been super cheap and we have been picking pecans from the trees across the street so this was fairly inexpensive. 

The crust: 1/2 cup pecans, 1/4 c dates, 3/4 cup almonds or almond meal, 1/4 c flax, 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, 1 egg. Process all dry ingredients together then add oil and egg, mix. Spray a baking dish with coconut spray and bake @ 375 for 10min. Remove and add 

FILLING : 3 apples peeled and sliced thinly, 1/4 c unsweetened apple sauce, 1 tbsp cinnamon (we like our cinnamon!), 1/4 c honey, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp lemon juice. Top with a mixture of 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 c chopped pecans, 1 tbsp coconut oil, sprinkle of truvia. Bake again for 25-35min. Serve warm with Greek yogurt.

You can omit the topping or leave out the extra pecans in the topping if you're watching your fat intake, since there is a good amount of nuts in the crust.
