Discover the ultimate comfort dessert with this Gluten-Free Classic Fruit Pie, a mouthwatering treat that combines a buttery, flaky gluten-free crust with a vibrant medley of fresh fruits like apples, berries, and peaches. Perfect for those with dietary restrictions, this pie uses gluten-free all-purpose flour and a touch of xanthan gum to achieve a tender, stress-free dough. The luscious fruit filling, brightened with a hint of lemon juice and cinnamon, bakes to bubbling perfection beneath a golden, egg-washed crust. Whether you're hosting a special occasion or craving a nostalgic dessert, this showstopping pie is the perfect balance of indulgence and wholesome flavors. Serve it warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert everyone will remember.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together without being sticky. Pat it into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a separate large bowl, combine the mixed fruits, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to coat the fruit evenly.
Roll out one disc of chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press the crust into the pan and trim any excess.
Pour the fruit filling into the dough-lined pie pan, spreading evenly.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the fruit filling. Trim the excess and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Brush this over the top crust to ensure a golden brown finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the juices bubble through the slits.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set properly.
