Recipe- Delicious And Healthy Apple Pie

This Gluten-Free Apple Pie is so delicious. It’s hard to say which is the star of the show: the gluten-free apple pie filling perfectly smothered in a sweet layer of cinnamon and nutmeg, or the buttery-like gluten-free pie crust. It’s a match made in heaven!

Ingredients

2 Gluten-Free Pie Crust Recipes
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced ¼" thick
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ cup coconut sugar
2 tablespoons sorghum flour
2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon almond milk (or your favorite dairy free milk)
1 teaspoon organic cane sugar, optional

Method

- Follow the directions for the Gluten-Free Pie Crust Recipe (make sure to double the recipe), and roll out one of the crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Do not trim down the excess dough from the edges of the pie crust.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples and lemon juice.

- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the palm sugar, sorghum flour, arrowroot starch, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples and toss to coat.

- Place the apple mixture in the pie shell, including any of the juices that may have accumulated.

- Roll out the second pie crust and gently place it on top.
Trim the overhanging pie crust dough edge about 1 inch from the rim of the pie plate. Fold and roll the top pie crust under the lower pie crust and flute as desired.

- Use a sharp knife to carefully cut a series of slits, at least 4-8, in the top of the pie crust so the steam can escape.

- Brush the crust with almond milk (you may not need to use the entire teaspoon), and sprinkle it with the cane sugar.

- Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch drips), and baking in a preheated 425 degree (F) oven for 15 minutes.

- Reduce the heat to 350 degrees (F) and continue baking for another 45-50 minutes. The pie will be done when the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft (carefully insert a knife in one of the steam slits to test the softness).

- Cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
