Description

Ingredients

• 2 packages ( 7.9 oz. each) Udis Gluten-free Soft & Chewy Snicker Doodle Cookies
• 4 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter (=1 stick)
• 6 cups peeled, sliced tart apples
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. gluten-free flour blend (or cornstarch)
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Directions

• Lightly spray inside bottom and sides of pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Using a food processor or food chopper, pulse the Snickerdoodle cookies until mixture is coarse crumbs with some larger chunks. (See photo in blog post.)
• Transfer cookie crumbs to a medium sized bowl. Add brown sugar and whisk until blended together.
• Melt the butter, then pour over the cookie crumb mixture. Use a fork to mix together, creating our Snickerdoodle streusel.
• Scoop out 1 cup of streusel; set aside for use as topping later. Press remaining streusel firmly and evenly in bottom and up sides of the lightly greased pie plate.
• Set pie aside and turn oven on to 375° to preheat while you make the apple pie filling.
• Peel and thinly slice 6 cups worth of apples. I cut each apple slice in half again so pieces would be smaller for faster cooking time. Stir together apple slices and lemon juice.
• In a large nonstick skillet, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter. Add apple slices and brown sugar. Stir, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cooking time will vary greatly based on variety/firmness of your apples and how soft you like them. Your goal here is to cook them just a tad bit less than you want the finished product. The time in the oven will finish them off.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. This will absorb the liquid and make nice saucy apples. As soon as the liquid has decreased (usually within a minute), remove from heat.
• Scoop apple pie filling into the prepared crust.
• Sprinkle with reserved snickerdoodle streusel.
• Bake at 375° for 18 minutes. Topping will be nicely browned and apples should be cooked perfectly.
• Remove from oven, let cool a bit and enjoy! This is delicious both warm or at room temperature. We enjoyed this plain or with vanilla ice cream, but homemade whipped cream is yummy on this too!
