Gluten Free Dutch Apple Pie

Gluten free Dutch apple pie, made with a simple pie crust on the bottom, filled with over 2 pounds of thinly-sliced, tart apples and topped with a warm crumble topping.

A gluten free Dutch apple pie is made simply with a traditional pastry crust on the bottom, packed with thinly sliced apples, and a gorgeous, thick crumble topping. Like business on the bottom, party on top.

Cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg are all present, along with a flaky bottom crust that won’t let you forget for one moment that it’s pie season. But believe it or not, you can make this pie without the bottom crust. Just allow the filling mixture to sit for at least 10 minutes, discard the rendered juices and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the filling.

INGREDIENTS
Crumble Topping

• 1 cup (140 g) all purpose gluten free flour
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your blend already contains it)
• 1/3 cup (73 g) packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8 tablespoons (112 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Crust

• 1/2 recipe gluten-free pie crust, chilled
• Egg white, for brushing

Filling

• 2 1/2 pounds (about 5 large apples) Granny Smith apples (or other tart and firm apple), peeled, cored and sliced thin
• 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease lightly a 9-inch deep dish pie plate and set it aside.
2. Make the crumble topping. In a medium-sized bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and whisk to combine, working out any lumps in the brown sugar. Add the butter, and mix to combine well. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for about 10 minutes or until firm (or the freezer for about 5 minutes).
