Cheater Spiced Apple Pie Recipe- Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan, and Easy

I love apple pie.
Ok, I take that back.
In theory I love apple pie, but I don't like pie crust. I don't really care what it is made from, the pie crust basically just holds the food together, and then I tolerate it to be able to eat the rest of the pie.
Add to it that pie crusts, especially when gluten free, are just a lot of work to make.

So this recipe has got the perks of apple pie, the taste, the filling, the apples... but none of that icky crust.

And of course it's super easy to make, gluten free, paleo, and allergy friendly.


Feel free to top it with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream. I feel it's begging for that. (Alas I have none at home!!!)

It's also the perfect thing to do with your yucky looking apples.

See these apples that I had sitting in my fridge or that I lugged around with me on vacation and were all bruised and unappetizing looking? Well here I made it into a tempting dish.

Perfection.
