Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Cold unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Ice water
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 6 Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free pie crust egg wash (optional: use one beaten egg)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Mix the ice water and apple cider vinegar together. Gradually add to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.

Step 3

Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 5

In another bowl, mix the apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the flavors meld.

Step 6

Roll out one dough disc between two pieces of parchment paper to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer to the pan and trim the excess.

Step 7

Pour the apple mixture into the crust, mounding it slightly in the center.

Step 8

Roll out the second dough disc and place over the filling. Trim, seal, and flute the edges. Cut small slits in the top to let steam escape.

Step 9

Brush the top crust with egg wash if using to promote browning.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 11

Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
