Ingredients
- 2 gluten free frozen pie crust
- 2 tablespoons Bob’s Red Mill GF All Purpose Baking Flour
- 3 large apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉
- Remove pie shells from the freezer. (Optional: I prefer to transfer one of the pie shells from the tin to a pie plate.) Then pre-bake (blind bake) it for about 10 minutes. Then prick it on the bottom and sides with a fork. Set aside the second pie shell to thaw.2 gluten free frozen pie crust
- Meanwhile, combine apples, lemon juice, spices, and flour in a mixing bowl.3 large apples, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 tablespoons Bob’s Red Mill GF All Purpose Baking Flour
- Then spoon mixture into pie shell that was pricked with the fork. Then cut slivers of butter and place on top of mixture.2 tablespoons butter
- Next cover with the second pie shell pinching edges together with your fingers. Cut two slits in the top of crust to allow steam to escape. Finally, brush the top with beaten egg.1 egg
- Increase oven temperature to 375℉
- Place on a baking sheet as the pie may bubble over a bit and bake until crust is golden, about 50 minutes. Let cool on wire rack before serving.
Notes
- In the original recipe I used Granny Smith apples. They're tart and tangy. Generally, we want firm apples. Honeycrisp and Braeburn are sweeter yet firm. But today I have Delicious apples. The choice of apples will affect the sweetness and texture of the pie filling, so feel free to use your favorite apple variety or a combination of different ones as I do in my homemade applesauce recipe.
- Please see my "Crust Update" in the post above for more tips about baking with gluten free frozen pie crust.
- If your frozen pie shell is broken, thaw the shell. Then dampen the crack with water, and use your finger to seal the crack together by lightly pinching and pressing the dough.
- Can I use a different gluten-free flour instead of Bob's Red Mill GF All Purpose Baking Flour? Yes, you can experiment with other gluten-free flours. However, keep in mind that different gluten-free flours have varying textures and properties, so the results may differ slightly. It's best to choose a gluten-free flour blend that is suitable for baking and can provide a good thickening consistency.
- To keep leftover pie, once baked, allow the pie to cool completely, then cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, you can reheat it slightly in the oven or enjoy it chilled.
