Pie is a traditional dessert when it comes to Thanksgiving. This recipe takes a twist on traditional apple pie and apple crisp. Use a firm, crisp apple like Fuji or even a Granny Smith for the perfect pie. Try to use local and organic ingredients whenever possible.
Gluten-Free Pie Crust
Yield: 1 pie
½ tsp salt
1½ cups gluten-free flour
½ cup very cold water
½ cup plus 3 Tbsp cold butter
In a small bowl, add salt to the water and stir to dissolve salt. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Put the flour in a medium size mixing bowl. Cut butter into 1 inch pieces and using a pastry knife, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture forms large crumbs. Drizzle in water and stir with a fork until the dough comes together.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 10-inch circle and place gently in a pie plate. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Apple Pie
4 cups sliced apples, with no peels
1¼ cup sugar
1¾ cups gluten-free flour
1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats)
½ cup brown sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
¾ cup butter
Peel and slice apples into thin slices. Place apples in a large bowl. Add ¼ cup flour, ¼ cup sugar and 1½ tsp cinnamon. Mix apples to coat. Add to the prepared pie crust.
In a medium-size bowl, combine remaining flour, oats, 1 cup sugar, brown sugar and 1½ tsp cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a pastry knife. Sprinkle oatmeal topping over apples.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Makes 8 servings, if the pie is cut into 8 slices.
