Gluten Free Apple Pie (the way we like it)

- March 12, 2023

This is a traditional desert we usually make at least every 2-3 weeks, it is tasty and lasts well the next day, in case I bake at least 2 batches, or trays. The pie is made in gluten free option, but replacing the flour can bring similar results. Baking gluten free is a necessity in our family. I use Schar Mix Universal for mainkg this and it was ready in under 1 hour, but I did let it sit 30 min before powdering and slicing it in large squares, like we love it.

Ingredients:

450 g Schar Universal Mix flour

250 g butter at room temp

2 eggs

a pinch of salt

some gf baking powder (aprx. 6g)

You can make the dough sweet or not, depends - both ways it will be tasty. In case of no sugar I suggest using more apples for the filling. But if you prefer sweeter, here our tested options:

120 g white powder sugar plus 10g for sprinkling at the end (we sometimes substitute sugar for honey or dates cream as they are more health options). This 120g is the minimum quantity for such large pie, but you can for sure skip or replace it, as the apples will be sufficient. We bake this also without sugar in the dough and just add more apples in the filling, it is. much healthier.

10-12 apples, cut and sliced, soaked from water and sprinkled with cinnamon (1teaspoon) and 1 spoon of vanilla sugar or the vanilla essence.

I mix all ingredients and then put the dough in the fridge for 30 min.

Cut the dough into 2 equal parts and make 2 sheets, adding the apple filling between them, then put it in oven for 30 min or until golden brown, at 180 degrees.

Let it sit, before cutting it and powdering with sugar.
