Delicious Gluten Free Apple Pie

As we dive into the delightful world of baking, let’s start with the key visual inspiration for our recipe. Here’s a peek at the scrumptious pie you’re about to create:

Easy Gluten Free Apple Pie

Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honey Crisp work great)
  • 1 cup sugar (adjust to your taste)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 gluten free pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for dotting)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch to the bowl with the apples. Toss everything gently until the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Roll out your gluten free pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Make sure to press the crust into the edges of the dish.
  5. Pour the apple mixture into the crust and spread it out evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  6. Cover the pie with another layer of crust, or create a lattice top for a beautiful presentation. If using a whole crust, make sure to cut slits for steam to escape.
  7. If desired, beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a shiny finish.
  8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  9. Once baked, allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set up nicely.

Serve your gluten free apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy every bite of this delightful dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!
