Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons Cold water
- 6 cups Apples (such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate them into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. Form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Divide the chilled dough into two parts. Roll out the first half on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
Transfer the rolled dough to the pie pan and trim any excess around the edges.
Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the apple filling. Trim, fold, and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
In a small bowl, beat the egg white and brush it over the top crust. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing and serving.
