You can search for a long time on the Internet but you could struggle to find a recipe for Gluten Free Dutch Apple Pie, believe me I have tried before and the search came up with a blank. There are many recipes for Dutch Apple Pie and many sites that specialise in Gluten Free recipes but none of them had Gluten Free Dutch Apple Pie details.
The reason is simple when you consider it, the basic ingredients of Dutch Apple Pie are already gluten free with the exception of the pie crust and it is there where we need to turn our attention.
The main ingredients for the apple pie are
- Your standard gluten free pie crust mix
- 5 or 6 cups of peeled and cored sliced cooking apples, not eating apples
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 0.25 cup of fine granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup of packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons of gluten free flour
- 0.25 teaspoon of nutmeg
The key ingredient to making this a Gluten Free Dutch Apple Pie and one that your family will want to eat is to use a gluten free pie mix. Often gluten free flours can be crumbly and dry. It is important that you use a flour mix that has been prepared for pie making. Your local supermarket or health store should have a selection of these. Remember this is a pie pastry not a cake mix.
Before you start you should preheat your oven to 375°F.
Whilst the oven is warming put the gluten free piecrust into a shaped pie plate. Then mix the fruit ingredients. Mix the sliced cooking apples with the lemon juice and add in the sugars, gluten free flour and spices (cinnamon and nutmeg).
Now pour the fruit mixture into the pie bowl and start to prepare the pie topping.
To finish off the pie and produce a serving that would make your grandmother proud you should use the following ingredients for the topping
- 0.75 cup of gluten free flour
- 0.25 cup of fine granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup of packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup of butter or margarine depending on your preferences warmed to room temperature to help the mixing
In a separate bowl mix the topping ingredients until the mix has coarsely crumbled and then sprinkle this evenly over the apples in the other bowl..
Put the prepared pie into the oven and cook at 375°F for 50 minutes checking that it is turning a golden brown.
Then find some friendly family members and serve this Gluten Free Dutch Apple Pie to them, stand back and wait for the complements. Oh and by the way save some of the pie for yourself.
