G-free & Dairy Free Apple Pie


Apple pie is an all time favorite of pretty much everyone, but it's difficult to find it G-Free AND dairy free. So, I decided to make an apple pie that people that are allergic to gluten and dairy can eat. This was a very easy thing to make and doesn't take much at all.

Pie Crust Ingredients:

3/4 cup gfree flour
1 tbsp  cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp xanthan gum
4 tbsp smart balance
1 large egg
1 tbsp vanilla

Apple Filling Ingredients:

4 large granny smith apples; sliced thinly
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
a splash of lemon juice

Crumble Topping Ingredients:

3/4 cups brown sugar
3/4 cups gfree flour
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup smart balance

Method for crust:

Stir the flour, xanthan gum and cornstarch together. Add the sugar, smart balance, egg and vanilla. Mix well. Knead and fold dough until it is well combined. Chill in the fridge while making the filling and crumble mix. Once chilled (After you've made the filling and crumble), take it out and roll the dough onto a lightly gfree floured surface to desired thickness. Place the crust into a 9" glass pie dish, lightly coated with non stick spray. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom and sides of the dough.

Method for filling:

Mix the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.  Pour the mixture into the pie crust, pouring the juices on last.

Method for crumble topping:

Mix the brown sugar, gfree flour and nutmeg. Add chilled smart balance. Cut into the mixture with a fork until you have a course, crumbly mixture. Spread the mixture onto the pie. Pop into an oven at 400 degrees for 35 min. The topping will be browned and bubbly. Let cool for an hour before serving. Serve it with Dairy Free ice cream.
