The other day, this douche on instagram said that he likes my food (along with other blogger’s food) but he doesn’t like how we toot our own horn about how good the food tastes. So I’m going to try the opposite. Here goes nothing: ‘Hey guys! This recipe isn’t really that good. It just tastes like pretty good apple pie. Wait, I’m going a little too crazy here. It’s just ok. That’s why I’m sharing these recipes on my blog. Because they aren’t that good. Just ok.’ Did that make you excited about the recipe? Did that make your mouth water and make you super pumped about trying the recipe? Eff no it didn’t. What an idiot. This recipe was awesome. Tooting my own horn or not, it’s a delicious recipe that makes you feel like you’re eating a mini apple pie.
Toot toot.
It hasn’t even hit Thanksgiving and I’m already freaking out about Christmas. I am the worst, THE WORST Christmas shopper. I don’t know if I’m just not thoughtful, but I truly never know what to get my friends and family. I feel like when you’re an adult who works hard to earn your own money, you don’t really need many things. If you want something, you buy it. Which makes things much tougher for purchasing gifts. What makes things worse is that I have incredibly thoughtful friends. Who remember little things I say. I think I’m just a bad listener.
Speaking of my thoughtful friends: #137 why I love being home – Girls night. When I’m home, I get to have Monday watchingthevoiceandjudgingchristinasoutfits night. It’s just wonderful. When women say they aren’t really friends with girls, it means girls don’t really like them. Because all girls need girlfriends. I’m a much happier and way more sane human being when I have my girlfriends to hang out with. If you only hang out with dudes, then you probably need to pay for a shrink because girls listen to all your annoying issues that guys won’t even tough. Girls night is therapy night. Just facts of life. Oh, and chocolate night. Obviously.
Apple Pie Tartlets
- Yield: 7-14* 1x

For the crust
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour/meal (150 grams)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
For the toppings
- 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil, if you prefer)

- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Add almond flour, coconut oil, egg, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and puree until is combines completely together (it will form a ball in the food processor).
- Using a mini muffin tin, use a cookie scoop to scoop out a ball of the crust mixture and place into 14 muffin tin holes.
- Using your thumbs and fingers, press the crust mixture down in the tin and up around the edges, creating a crevice for the apples to go in. Be sure not to break through the crust on the bottom. Repeat with all 14 muffins.

These look AMAZING! Definitely making them for Thanksgiving.
I don’t have a mini muffin tin, not to mention I’m dying to try out the silicone liners I just bought for my regular sized one, so do you think this would work with a regular muffin tin?! If not, I’ll totally buy the mini 🙂
i’m sure it would work with regular muffin tin, i’m sure not sure how long they would have to cook for or how many it would make though
Hey! This looks great! I’m hoping to try out this recipe for some vegan family members… Any thoughts on a substitute for egg in this recipe specifically? I know of a lot of substitutes, but it depends on what end result you’re trying to achieve. Thanks
i have no clue. i haven’t made it without the egg
I am so making these this afternoon
I’m a terrible Christmas shopper too, but I receive great gifts. Guess I’m just a bad person who doesn’t listen – what can you do
Hi there, do you think these could be made in a regular-sized muffin tin?
i’m sure it would work with regular muffin tin, i’m sure not sure how long they would have to cook for or how many it would make though
These look great! Thanks for also using weight measures in your recipes now. 🙂

Love your recipes!
Hey lady, these look amazing!!! do you think they’d work in regular muffin tins?? my family gets annoyed when they have to eat lots of little things lol!
People who don’t like themselves are generally the ones bi***ing about how others “toot.” He’s probably an just insecure little dude…. poor guy. You, on the other hand, should toot loud and proud… (so to speak) your recipes are flippin’ fantastic, and you are awesome.
Overkill on awesome recipes? Never. Telling it like it is, whether it’s about recipes or about anything else in life? Of course. Watching The Voice and wondering what Xtina and CeeLo are both wearing? Hell yes! Although, I do wonder why CeeLo doesn’t have a pet with him this year…
Douchey McButterpants should make some of your recipes, and then he’ll see the error of his ways.
