Instructions

Pie Filling
  1. Combine cooked beef, finely diced apples, raisins, dried cranberries, apple cider vinegar, natural sweetener of choice, molasses, honey, and sea salt in a large sauce pan.
  2. Mix and cook on low 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and butter.
  4. Stir well and let cool to room temperature before filling unbaked pie shells.
Paleo Pie Crust
  1. Blend almond flour, egg, and coconut oil. Add more Almond Flour as necessary to get the right consistency. If you over-add flour, moisten with very small bits of coconut oil. Larger eggs might make dough too moist. In this case, add Almond Flour sparingly.
NOTES:

This recipe will fill two 8-9 inch pie shells.

Filling may be frozen in an air-tight bag or container for use at a later date or stored in the refrigerator 3-5 days. After freezing, simply thaw and use.
