Tip For Measuring Gluten

The BEST Frozen Strawberry Pie Ever! Gluten-Free, Quick & Easy

It is super important to use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients to measure gluten-free flour. I measure the gluten-free flour with the spoon & level method.

I use a large spoon to scoop the flour out of the bag into the measuring cup. Then I use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup.

Please do not scoop the flour directly out of the bag with your measuring cup. If you do, you could end up with more flour than is called for in the recipe.

Apple Pie Filling Tips And Troubleshooting

  • As soon as you cut up each apple then stir into the lemon juice to prevent the slices from turning brown.
  • Allowing the apples to macerate in the seasoning is imperative to helping the apples retain their shape during their bake and not leak out their juices. This will lead to a soggy bottom.
  • Dont discard the juice that you are macerating the apples in you must include in your pie. Dont worry it will not make your pie soggy. Use a slotted spoon to arrange the apple slices into your pie crust then once you have placed them all in then pour the juice over the top.

This Gluten Free Apple Crumble Pie is a delicious and healthier take on the classic apple pie. It is made from minimal natural ingredients, two different types of apples, and is very simple to make.

With the holidays approaching, I literally cannot get sweet holiday themed desserts off my head. I just want to be spending all of my time in the kitchen whipping up new treats, singing along with Michael Bubles Christmas Album, and making a complete disaster like I always do in the kitchen.

We are headed up to Connecticut tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving with Toms family and I have been planning what I wanted to bring for a little while now. Since I made so many holiday pies this year , I figured I would bring one of those but wanted to offer to his aunt to bring anything.

She requested that I bring up a Stocks pound cake, which is what I brought the first time I ever met Toms family for Easter a few years ago! They are so amazing.

She also asked if I would be willing to make a gluten free apple pie of some sort. I took this as a sign that I needed to get an apple pie recipe up on my blog, so I started figuring out how I could make the most delicious gluten free apple crumble pie.

I knew I wanted to make a traditional crust using real butter because I feel like you cant skimp when it comes to the crust. Plus, butter is natural and isnt going to kill you, it is the holidays after all!

Rolling Out Tips And Troubleshooting

  • Roll out your pastry between two sheets of baking parchment. You want to avoid adding excess flour to the pastry so this protects it. Plus it makes it less likely to crack and so much easier to manoeuvre into the pie dish.
  • If you like baking a lot of pies I recommend being aware of the exact size you need to roll your pastry out to so that it is the right thickness and will avoid pastry wastage. Draw a circle of the correct size onto the baking parchment and use this as a guide. It is about a 10 inch round.
  • Use a large rolling pin and roll with your forearms with a light even weight pressed to the pin.
  • Turn your pastry a quarter turn after every single roll for a balanced circle shape.
  • It is fine to roll out the pastry a little thicker than you might normally. This recipe produces the exact right amount of pastry.
  • After you have fitted the pastry lid over your pie then cut away the pastry excess to just past the edges of the pie dish. Pinch and roll the ends together towards the pie to seal. You can keep the edges just rolled for a rustic finish or crimp the edges together.
  • You need a very light egg wash brushed over the pastry before the pie is baked. Avoid the egg wash gathering in the crimped edges as too much moisture on the pastry will make it fall apart.

Kitchen Tools We Used:

If you dont have all of these kitchen tools, thats totally okay, but these are the tools we used to make this recipe simple and easy!

  • Food Processor: you can mix the dough by hand, but a food processor does make it easier.
  • Apple Peeler and Slicer: this is such an easy way to peel and thinly slice the apples at the same time. If you dont have one though, you can use a vegetable peeler and a sharp knife.
  • Rolling Pin: Or if you dont want to buy one and have a wine bottle, thatll work, too!
  • Pizza Wheel: I used this to make the lattice, but you can easily use a knife as well.
  • Pastry Brush

Tips For Making This Gluten Free Apple Pie Recipe:

How to make gluten free and sugar free apple pie!
  • The pie crust and the crumble topping calls for cold butter. Make sure your butter is very cold and firm right out of the fridge when you are ready to use it.
  • Make the apple filling before you start with everything else. They will release some juice. To prevent a soggy bottom I like to cook the apple filling for 5 minutes and let it cool down until I make the rest. The cooking will gelatinize the juices.
  • Pre-baking the gluten free pie crust provides a shield against the moisture of the filling. If you use raw filling and dont pre-bake the crust then it may absorb too much moisture from the filling while it is baking and end up a mushy mess.
  • To prevent the streusel from burning you can cover the apple pie with aluminum foil or use a deeper baking dish.

    How To Make Apple Pie

    With a homemade crust and filling, this gluten free apple pie recipe is surprisingly simple to put together! See the recipe card below for more detailed instructions!

  • Mix the dough: Combine the flour, salt, and butter in a food processor, then add in the eggs and honey. Process until the dough comes together.
  • Shape and chill: Shape the dough into two round disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. I usually make it the night before and refrigerate it overnight.
  • Form the crust: Remove one dough disk from the fridge. Between two sheets of parchment, roll the dough out to fit the size of a 9 pie tin. Remove one sheet of parchment, then invert the pie dough into the tin.
  • Make the healthier apple pie filling: Combine sliced apples, lemon juice, coconut sugar, tapioca, vanilla, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Spoon the mixture into the crust.
  • Top it off: Roll the remaining dough disk into an 11 circle. If youre making a lattice, cut the dough into 8-10 strips and weave on a sheet of parchment. If youre using the dough to cover the pie without the lattice, simply place it on top, seal the top pastry with the crust, and slice a few holes to vent.
  • Bake: Brush the crust with egg wash and coarse sugar. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbly.
  • Prepping Ahead Of Time

    • Bottom crust: You can prep the dough 1-2 days ahead of time and store it in the fridge. You can also prep and roll out the dough, place it into the pie dish, and store it in the fridge for a few hours or up to a day ahead of time.
    • Top crust: Place the top crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover it with plastic wrap. If youre making a lattice, do so on a piece of parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap, and store it in the fridge for a few hours or for up to a day. When youre ready to place it on top, invert the lattice from the parchment paper onto the filled pie.
    • The pie: You can make the whole pie a day ahead of time and leave it at room temperature for up to 24 hours. When youre getting closer to serving it, simply warm it in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350ºF.

    Can you freeze this vegan gluten free Dutch apple pie? Yes, up to 3 months! Thaw it overnight in the fridge then bake it for 15-20 minutes to reheat.

    When youre ready, preheat the oven at 425 degrees F, then reduce 375°F and bake for about an hour. Fresh warm gluten free vegan Dutch apple pie without effort!

    The Best Type Of Apples Use For Apple Pie

    Perfect GLUTEN-FREE Pie Crust | Fresh P
    • Granny Smith apples are the most popular apples to use for baking an apple pie. They are tart, crisp, and they keep their structure after time in the oven.
    • Honeycrisp are my favorite apples for both eating and baking! They are sweeter than Granny Smiths but still crisp. They always hold firm after baking.
    • Pink Lady apples are a good balance of sweet and tart. They also hold their shape when baked.
    • Jazz apples are also sweet and tart and will stay firm after baking.

    For my apple pie filling, I like to use half Granny Smith and half Honeycrisp apples.
