Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (such as Granny Smith)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 pint Vanilla ice cream (gluten-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.

Step 3

Add cold, cubed unsalted butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just holds together. Divide the dough in two, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, prepare the filling by combining apple slices, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough portion into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan.

Step 7

Fill the crust with the apple mixture and dot with 1 tablespoon of cut butter pieces.

Step 8

Roll out the second dough portion and place over the apples. Trim, fold, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Optional: Brush the crust with milk or cream and sprinkle with a bit of granulated sugar for a glossy finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Step 11

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving.

Step 12

Serve slices of warm apple pie with a scoop of gluten-free vanilla ice cream on top.
