Apple Crisp Pie

Ingredients

• 1 (9-inch) Gluten-Free Perfect Pie Crust
• 2 pounds apples, peeled and sliced ((see notes))
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free cornstarch
• 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum ((omit if your flour blend contains it))
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
• 1/2 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter or dairy-free buttery sticks, (cubed and cold)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the pie crust in a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Decorate or crimp the crust, as desired, and place in the refrigerator while you make the filling.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, orange zest, lemon zest, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside while you make the crumb topping.

3. 3

   To make the topping, add the flour, xanthan gum, sugars, salt, and oats to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix to combine.

4. 4

   Add the cubed butter and mix on low to incorporate until the dough starts to come together.

5. 5

   Transfer the apples to the pie crust, spreading them evenly in the crust. Crumble the topping over the apples.

6. 6

   Place the baking dish over a rimmed baking sheet (in case the apples bubble over) and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the topping is browned/crisp and the apples are bubbling. Use a pie shield or piece of foil placed around the edges to prevent your crust from burning, if necessary.

7. 7

   Cool the pie at least 2-3 hours before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
