Ingredients

  • Curst
  • 2 cups plus 2-4 tablespoons of gluten free flour with xanthan gum
  • 9 tablespoons of salted butter - frozen
  • 1 egg
  • 8-12 tablespoons of ice water
  • Filling
  • 5-6 apples I used 3 different types
  • 1 tablespoon of GF flour I used tapioca
  • 1/4 cup of sugar I used coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and all spice
  • 2 tablespoons of vanilla lemon juice, and butter

Instructions

  • First, make your crust - mix the gluten free flour with the butter using a pastry cutter, then mix in the egg. Add one tablespoon of water at a time until the dough starts to stick yet isn't too crumbly.
  • Then, set the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Cut the dough in half and wrap one ball in plastic - put it in the fridge. Roll out the other ball and lay it in a 9 inch pie dish - then back in the fridge. I find the crust easier to roll between two pieces of plastic wrap - doesn't stick much that way.
  • Peel and slice all of the apples, about 1/4 of an inch, then mix with all ingredients for the filling except the butter.
  • Take out the other ball of dough and roll it out. Then, cut into 1/2 inch strips and put it back in the fridge. Grab the 9 inch pie dish that's got the crust already in it - fill with apples, then dab in the butter little chunks at a time. Take out the strips you cut and lay them down in a lattice pattern.
  • Bake at 425 for 10, then lower your oven to 350 and bake for 45 more minutes. If the edges start to get dark, you can cover it with foil.
  • Let the apple pie chill fully before serving. Eat at room temperature. Serve with ice cream or frozen yogurt.
