Pumpkin & Apple Pie

This layered apple–pumpkin crumble pie is a decadent yet thoughtfully crafted dessert that brings together autumnal flavors and textural contrast. A tender, gluten-free crust made with psyllium husk and Greek yogurt forms the perfect base, while spiced apple slices provide a naturally sweet, aromatic layer. The pumpkin filling, enriched with coconut sugar, cream, eggs, warming spices, and a splash of bourbon, offers a silky, comforting center with depth and subtle complexity.
Topped with a buttery pecan crumble, this pie delivers a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft fruit and custard layers. Each bite balances spice, sweetness, and richness, making it an impressive centerpiece for holiday gatherings or special occasions. This dessert demonstrates how layered flavors and careful ingredient choices can elevate a familiar favorite into a refined, seasonal treat.
