Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups peeled and sliced apples (Sliced ¼-inch thick. Use Granny Smith and Honey Crisp apples.)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (Pillsbury gluten-free or Better Batter)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, whisked

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, vanilla extract, GF all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for 1 minute to coat evenly.
  2. Pour the apple mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and spread evenly.
  3. Prepare the top crust and place it over the apples, then crimp the edges to seal.
  4. Cut 4-5 vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  5. Whisk 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush it over the top crust.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-55 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and apples are tender.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different type of apple for gluten-free apple pie?

Yes, you can! For a balanced flavor and texture, use a mix of sweet and tart apples. Good options include Honeycrisp, Gala, Granny Smith, and Fuji. Avoid overly soft apples like Red Delicious, as they can become mushy when baked.

How do I prevent a soggy bottom crust on my gluten-free apple pie?

To prevent a soggy bottom, ensure your crust is well-chilled before baking. Consider blind-baking the bottom crust for about 10-15 minutes before adding the filling. Using a thickener like tapioca starch or cornstarch in your apple filling also helps absorb excess moisture.

Can I make the gluten-free apple pie filling ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the apple filling up to 2 days in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator. When ready to assemble, you might need to add a little extra thickener if the filling seems too watery after chilling. This makes assembly quicker on baking day.

How long does gluten-free apple pie last and how should I store it?

Gluten-free apple pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days. Cover it loosely with foil or plastic wrap to prevent the crust from becoming too soft. Reheat slices gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
