Apple Pie That"s So Good You Cant Let It Out On The Window Sill To Cool, It Will Get Stolen
Being Gluten Free doesn't mean you have to give up on your favorite foods.
I started my search for Gluten Free foods a year ago when my neighbor's son was diagnosed with Celiac disease.
They used to go out to the bakery every Monday and get him a slice of apple pie as part of his routine for starting the week off and going to school.
You can imagine their pain when they realized their actions were causing his illness to worsen.
He got more tired, was able to focus less in school, and started to grow thinner.
Now however, they simply bake a their own every week and everyone enjoys a piece! I don't want to live in a world where not everyone can enjoy an all American apple pie.
Ingredients: PASTRY 1 1/2 c of gluten-free flour 1/3 c of cornstarch 1 tsp of Xanthan gum 1/2 c of sugar 8 tbsp of butter, cut into pieces 1 tbsp of gluten-free vanilla extract 1 large egg APPLE FILLING 7 medium apples, peeled, cored and very thinly sliced 1 tsp of ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp of salt 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg 1/2 c of sugar CRUMBLE TOPPING 3/4 c of light brown sugar 1/2 tsp of ground nutmeg 3/4 c of gluten-free flour 1/3 c of chilled butter, cut into small pieces Directions: To make the pastry mix together the cornstarch, Xanthan gum and flour.
Add the sugar, butter, egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
Dust the counter with a bit of flour and take out the mixture and start kneading and folding until well combined.
Wrap them both in plastic and put one in the freezer for later and the other in the fridge to chill.
For the Apple Filling mix together the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl.
Set this aside.
After 20 min remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll into a ball.
Roll out dough to the desired thickness.
Grease a glass pie dish and place the first crust in it.
Using a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the crust and along the sides to keep from bubbling.
Pre-heat your oven to 400 °F.
(You'll be done before it's heated) Spoon apple mixture into the pie crust, mounded in the middle and pouring the sugary juices over top.
Now all that's left is to create your Crumble Topping, (The tastiest part) And Bake it!
