Gluten Free Dutch Apple Pie

Out of all the gluten free pies I have made, I would have to say this gluten free Dutch apple pie is my favorite. It has a unique crust plus a crumble topping, which both create texture, sweetness, and flavor! It’s the best of both worlds. Apple filling is my favorite of all. I love cinnamon and what goes better with it than apples? Okay, cinnamon bread comes to mind, but that’s only good with tons of butter. Meanwhile, enjoy this recipe!

  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon seeds of choice (sesame or chia) (optional)

  5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  6. Sprinkle and press 1/2 cup brown sugar into the bottom of the pie plate.
  7. Roll out the pie dough and transfer it to the plate. Press the dough on top of the brown sugar and up the sides. Crimp the edges of the dough, if desired.
  8. Add the apple mixture or canned apples on top of the crust and top with the remaining dough mixture.
  9. Bake on the center rack of your oven until the crumble and crust are golden brown, about 40-45 minutes. from oven and transfer pie to a wire rack to cool before serving.
