Gluten Free Apple Pie Recipe

Step 1

In a food processor, combine gluten free flour, salt and butter and pulse for a few seconds at a time or until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Add egg yolk (if using), and drizzle water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, until the dough just holds together. Toss the shredded cheese with 1-2 tablespoons of gluten free flour and add to the pastry dough. Pulse until combined.

Step 3

Wrap dough with cling film and place in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 ̊ F, grease lightly a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, toss together all filling ingredients.

Step 6

Divide the chilled pastry dough into two pieces, one about twice larger than the other. Dust the work surface with gluten free flour and roll the larger piece to about 1/6-inch thickness. Carefully transfer the rolled pastry to the prepared pie dish and press to cover the bottom and sides of the dish.

Step 7

Spoon filling into the crust, roll the remaining dough and cover the filling. Make a few slits with a sharp knife, crimp the edges and chill for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Brush pie with some milk and bake pie for 35-45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
