Breakfast apple pie

 BREAKFAST APPLE PIE

(With pumpkin granola)

1/2 cup                                                       Pumpkin puree

1/4 cup                                                       Maple syrup

1 tablespoon                                             Butter

2 tablespoons                                           Peanut butter 

2 teaspoons                                              Pumpkin spice

1 teaspoon                                                Vanilla 

2 cups                                                        Old fashioned Oatmeal

1/2 cup                                                       Pecan

1/2 cup                                                       Sunflower seeds

1 pie shell

6                                                                   Apples, peeled and sliced

1 tablespoon                                             Sugar

1 teaspoon                                                 Cinnamon 

1 pinch                                                       Salt

Directions 

 Put 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a sauce pan on medium heat, stirring until it boils.  When it does, turn off the heat and keep on stirring for a minute.  

Add 2 cups oatmeal,  1/2 cup pecan and 1/2 cup sunflower seeds.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.(200°C.)

Roll out the pie dough (I like mine thin).  Place on your pie dish.

Peel and slice 6 apples (I used Gala), dropping the slices directly in the pie shell.  Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch salt.

Spread 2 cups of the fresh granola you just made on top.  Put the left over granola on a baking sheet.

Put the pie on the second lower grate of the oven and the granola on the lower one, for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, take the granola out and flip it with a spatula.  Switch the pie to the lower grate and place the granola on the second lower grate for 10 to 15 more minutes or until cook.  Don't let the granola burn but make sure the crust is cooked all the way through.

Look at that beauty.  Just like in my dream.  I happened to have a pie shell left over in the freezer from my vegan cipâte.   I'm sure it would be good without it.  Maybe between 2 layers of granola.  Let me know if you try it, I love talking about food.

I enjoyed mine with Greek yogurt sweetened with maple syrup and a coffee.

Have a good and healthy day!

Today's creation 

I rolled the pie dough in oatmeal on the counter instead of flour. Scott said it's awesome and I say it's satisfying and not too sweet.  It's a keeper.

I made cinnamon crackers with the left over dough. They are so good and easier to make than "pet de soeur". A dab of butter and a dust of cinnamon sugar under each shred and same thing on top. I put in the oven with the pie, it cooks about half time than the pie.
