Instructions
In a pan, heat the coconut oil until melted. Add the diced apples (I left the peels on mine), lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and ground ginger and sauté for 5 minutes until fragrant.
Add the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and allow the apples to simmer over low heat for 20 minutes until the water has evaporated by half.
Add the corn starch one teaspoon at a time and stir well, the pie filling with thicken quickly. Once ready, remove from heat and place in your pie crust. Mix crumble topping, and add to the top of the filling.
If baking, for a 9 to 11 inch pie, bake for 40 minutes until edges are brown and bubbling. Enjoy!
