A homemade gluten-free apple pie with a flaky, buttery crust and a perfectly spiced sweet-tart apple filling, designed to taste just like the traditional classic.

Ingredients

Scale

2.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Unsalted Butter
0.75 cup Ice Water
8 medium Apples
0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
0.25 cup Brown Sugar
2 tablespoons All-Purpose GF Flour Blend
1 teaspoon Cinnamo
0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
0.25 teaspoon Allspice
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 unit Egg
1 tablespoon Water
1 tablespoon Coarse Sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2.5 cups gluten-free flour blend, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and incorporate into the flour with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs
  2. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together without being sticky
  3. Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to the pie dish, leaving a 1-inch overhang, and refrigerate while preparing the filling
  6. In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples with the sugars, GF flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated
  7. Pour the apple filling into the chilled pie crust and dot the top with the 2 tablespoons of butter pieces
  8. Roll out the second disk of dough into an 11-inch circle and place it over the filling. Trim, crimp the edges to seal, and cut several steam slits in the top crust
  9. Whisk the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired
  10. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes
  11. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 45-55 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling
  12. Cool the pie on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set

Notes

Ensure butter is extremely cold (almost frozen) to achieve a flaky crust.

Use a mix of firm, tart apples like Granny Smith combined with sweeter varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp.

To make this dairy-free, substitute the butter with a high-quality cold block-style plant-based butter alternative.

If the crust browns too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil during the last part of baking.
