Nothing screams comfort and autumn quite like a perfectly baked apple pie. And if you’re gluten-free, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with this delicious recipe!
First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
For the crust, you’ll need:
– 2 cups of gluten-free flour
– 3/4 cup of butter, cut into tiny cubes
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 6 tablespoons of ice water
To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Then, add in the butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly pour in the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide it into two equal parts and roll each one out into a circle. Place one circle into a 9-inch pie dish.
For the filling, you’ll need:
– 6 cups of sliced apples (about 6 medium-sized apples)
– 1/2 cup of brown sugar
– 1/4 cup of gluten-free flour
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into tiny cubes
Place the sliced apples into a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour this mixture over the apples and toss until they’re coated. Then, transfer the apple mixture onto the crust in the pie dish. Dot the top with the cubes of butter.
To make the lattice top, roll out the remaining dough and cut it into thin strips. Weave the strips over the top of the pie in a lattice pattern.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
And there you have it, a delicious gluten-free apple pie that’s perfect for any occasion!
