* Easier than pie, but just as delicious! These can be eaten with a fork or fingers. Can be made in an 8x8 (thick) or 13x9 pan (See modified filling recipe). Directions for "footballs" follow recipe.
Shortbread Cookie Crust
- 2 cups (240 grams) Truly AIP All-Purpose Baking Mix
- 1/2 cup palm shortening
- 3 Tbsp. maple syrup
Cut shortening into baking mix and then mix in maple syrup. You should have a slightly crumbly dough that holds it's shape when squeezed into a ball. Press mixture into 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes, until crust is lightly browned. Cool to room temperature before pouring filling on top.
For 13x9, follow above instructions, but decrease bake time to about 15 minutes.
