This mouth-watering hearty gluten free apple pie is pure magic – the buttery, flaky cheesy crust complements perfectly the sweetness of the creamy and flavorful filling. Granny Smith apples work best but you may use other tart green apples.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups gluten free all-purpose flour, plus some extra for dusting
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded (you may use white cheddar or American cheese)
- ¼ cup ice water
- 1/3 cup chilled butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 egg yolk (optional)
- Filling:
- 6-8 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
Method
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.
