3 cups sweet apples cored and sliced thin (unpeeled)
3 Tablespoons Easy Caramel Sauce recipe below
1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
Easy Caramel Sauce for drizzling

Pie Crust:
1 cup brown rice flour
2 Tablespoons raw sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons coconut oil

2 Tablespoons ground flax seed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 C

Prepare the apple filling:
Halve the apples, core, and slice thinly crosswise. 
Toss the apples with cinnamon, and Easy Caramel Sauce until well coated. Set aside

Prepare the crust:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt
In a small bowl, combine the milk, flax seed and set aside to allow to thicken
Meanwhile, cut the oil into the flour mixture until crumbly
Add the flax gel to the flour mixture, stir well and a stiff dough forms.
You can add more almond milk 1 Tablespoon at a time if the mixture seems too dry
Press the dough firmly together into a ball. Place between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper and roll out to about 1/4 inch thick
Place the rolled dough onto a greaseproof paper-lined baking sheet
Add the apples to the center of the pie crust, leaving about 5 cm of space between the edge of the crust and the filling
Fold the pie crust over the filling all around the pie, leaving some space in the center of the pie uncovered

Bake for about 40 minutes, until crust is lightly browned and the apples are tender
Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving
Drizzle with Easy Caramel Sauce and enjoy!

If you’re the kind that feels guilty about taking a break from your exercise routine here’s some facts for you to absorb. Benefits of taking a week or two off exercising (ideally every 8 – 12 weeks): Your training is just the stimulus, it’s in the resting periods you will experience biochemical, neural and hormonal changes that cement results from your efforts. Muscles, tendons and ligaments repair themselves, the glycogen energy stores in your muscles and liver are replenished and your testosterone levels recover.

The Subtle difference between 'Find' and 'Earn'  When we want to 'find' our ________ (motivation, respect, money- you fill in the blank). We may be indicating that we have no idea where it is, it's lost, maybe it doesn't even exist! It tags desperation, depression, helplessness.😒 When we want to 'earn' our ________ ( fill in the blank with all the goodies 😇).  We're suggesting solutions and possibilities, that it does exist, we can get to it and it is ours. Try tweaking your words. Instead of saying, "I just need to find the  _______". Say, "And now I will earn my ________". See what difference that small self- talk does for you.
