Tips & Tricks
- Food processor vs blender – A food processor gives the best texture, but a blender can work in a pinch.
- Make it mini – Use a smaller pan for a personal-sized pie.
- Storage – Keep at room temperature for a few hours, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for later.
- Optional swaps – Use pumpkin puree, mashed banana, or sweet potato instead of applesauce. Swap almond flour for oat flour or vice versa.
