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
Ingredients
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)
- 3 cups apples, cored and cubed (330 grams)

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

For the whipped cream

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place pecans in a food processor and pulse until they have broken down into a flour consistency.
- 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.

Totally love your recipes. My favourite at the k
I have never commented on any blog before but had to tell you that your blog and recipes are the best! I read your blog first thing in the morning and just love your brutal honesty and your humor. You seem like a very fun person! Thanks for all the time you put into your blog. 🙂 have a great Thanksgiving. 🙂
These look amazing! I have all kinds of weird food allergies and your blog has saved me from a life of grilled chicken breasts! You rock!
I need to make a bunch of goodies for an upcoming party,,,,do you think these would hold up in the freezer ok, minus the creme topping of course…..
I think so, just need to be heated back up in the oven
First, don’t stoop to his level by calling names. Second, ‘douche’? Really? Think about it. Call him a dick. Call him a prick. But a douche? He doesn’t come close. A woman’s vagina is nothing short of miraculous. Amazing really. Takes a pounding and keeps going. And honestly, it’s a lot cleaner than men’s genitals. Its self cleaning and self protecting so let’s just step away from demeaning it. It’s just another form of belittling women. So the guy was a class A jerk a dick and a prick and maybe even an asshat. No way though he was cool enough to be a douche. Just sayin’. As for your recipes, they are phenomenal. Apparently he likes them enough to follow you…. What a putz.
Hi Juli
I have a family recipe for bread that we would like to convert to gluten free as he has just been diagnosed with celiac. As a treat for Thanksgiving we would like to make it for him.
If I send you the recipe would you please please please make suggestions for converting it…..
Yes I know this has nothing to do with your amazing apple pie tartlets..
I just made these to test them out as a thanksgiving dessert–they were fabulous!! I will definitely be adding them to my menu!
Obviously what “douchebag” doesn’t understand is that when it comes to baking/cooking it isn’t tooting your own horn, it’s inspiring others to try the recipe. Like I want to waste my time with something that’s only “so-so.” Good for you for not letting the idiot’s comment slide. Oh, and the recipe – on my way into the kitchen now!
Love your blog. Love you. Love your recipes. Love your humor. Love apple pie. Love all around!
these sound amazing. Do you have to have a food processor?
it’s pretty helpful. but you could just mix it by hand
