Ingredients

Scale

For the Pastry Dough

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Filling

  • 2 apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 2–3 tbsp water
  • 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small pie dish (6-8 inches) or line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Prepare the Pastry Dough: In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, all-purpose flour, applesauce, olive oil, and egg. Stir to form a shaggy dough, then knead gently by hand for 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable but not sticky.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour, divide the dough into two parts—about two-thirds for the base and one-third for the top. Roll out the larger portion to ¼-inch thickness and fit it into the pie dish, pressing it along the bottom and sides.
  4. Prepare the Apples: Wash, peel, core, and chop the apples into small cubes. Cook them in a small saucepan with 2-3 tablespoons of water over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened but not mushy.
  5. Make the Filling: Stir in applesauce and cinnamon into the cooked apples, cooking gently for another 1-2 minutes to thicken and blend flavors. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the apple filling evenly over the pastry base. Roll out the smaller dough portion to ¼-inch thickness and cover the pie, either as a whole top crust or as lattice strips. Seal edges and cut a small vent in the top crust if fully covered.
  7. Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and firm. Check at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 30-40 minutes to set. Cut into small wedges and serve an appropriate portion as a treat for your dog.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened applesauce with no additives to avoid harmful sugars or preservatives.
  • Choose sweet, dog-safe apple varieties like Fuji or Gala for natural flavor.
  • Limit cinnamon to 1/3 teaspoon as higher amounts may irritate dogs.
  • Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly warmed, never hot.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
  • Introduce pie gradually to monitor your dog’s tolerance, especially to cinnamon and apples.
  • For variations, substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour or mashed pumpkin for applesauce.
