  5. Add the peeled and sliced apples to a skillet, at a medium heat. Add maple syrup, coconut oil, coconut oil, ground cinnamon, salt and gently stir to combine. Cook for 3 – 4 minutes until apples are cooked through.
  6. Mix arrowroot starch with water and pour over apple mixture. Continue to cook for two more minutes until the mixture thickens to a sauce consistency.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared crust and spread evenly to cover the crust.
