Ingredients
  • 1 recipe Gluten-Free Pie Crust (recipe above)
  • 6-8 medium Apples
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Milk or Egg Wash
  • 1 tablespoon Turbinado Sugar

Preparing the Apple Filling

Peel, core, and slice the apples into about 1/4-inch thick pieces. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.

Assembling the Pie

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place one gluten-free pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the apple filling into the crust and dot the top with small pieces of butter.

Adding the Top Crust

Roll out the second gluten-free pie crust. Carefully place it over the apple filling. Trim the edges of the crust and crimp them to seal. Cut vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Baking the Pie

Brush the top crust with milk or egg wash (for a golden color) and sprinkle with turbinado sugar (optional). Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

Cooling and Serving

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free apple pie warm or at room temperature, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

FAQ

  • What kind of apples should I use?

    A mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, works best for apple pie. This combination provides a balanced flavor and texture.
  • Can I make the apple filling ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the apple filling a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This can save you time on the day you plan to bake the pie.
  • How do I prevent the crust from browning too quickly?

    If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil or use a pie shield. This will protect the crust while the filling continues to bake.
