This All-American Apple pie is my husband’s favorite dessert topped with homemade ice cream. With a layer of apples cooked in Kahlua, vanilla beans, and fresh ginger, and topped with the crunch of fresh sliced apples, this pie marries texture and creamy flavors. Lastly, it’s baked in a coconut-almond gluten free, dairy free crust. Beautiful and tantalizing at the same time.
