Individual Cherry Pies- Grain Free and Vegan!

Lately I have been having way too much fun with grain-free flours. Today, I made individual cherry pies! These pies are grain free and vegan, and contain no processed added sugars. The best part is, I made this recipe myself (proud moment in a young chef's life)! The crust was my favorite part! I definitely recommend trying these if you've thrown grains out of your diet but still need something to soothe your sweet tooth :]

What you'll need:

The recipe can either make one regular 9.5 inch pie, or can be divided into 4 ramekins for individual pies.

For the crust:

• 1 c almond flour
• 1.2 c pecan flour
• 1/4 c coconut oil, melted
• 2 Tbsp agave nectar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp salt

For the filling:

• 4 cups pitted tart cherries (I used fresh)
• 1/3 c agave nectar
• 1 Tbsp garfava flour, for thickening

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 325 deg F. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the crust. In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Mix the wet and dry together until they form a wet dough

2. Mold the dough into a 9.5 inch pie dish or divide amongst 4 ramekins. Press the pie crust onto the dishes, forming an even, thin layer. Bake the pie crusts for about 10 minutes, or until golden.

3. While your crust is baking, place the cherries and the agave for the filling in a small pot. Over medium low heat, cook the cherries until most of their juice secretes out. Add the garfava flour to thicken and immediately stir. Pour the mixture into your ramekins or pie dish.

4. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, keeping an eye on your crust to make sure it doesn't burn. Remove from oven and let cool before serving. Enjoy!!
