Ingredients

• 2 Cup gluten free all purpose flour mix
• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum omit if in flour mix
• 2 Tbl granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 8 Tbl vegetable shortening cold, cut into small pieces
• 2 Tbl vinegar rice or apple cider
• 2-6 Tbl water very cold, as needed
• 2 Cup apples 3-4 sweet tart apples
• 3 tsp lemon juice
• 3 tsp tapioca flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 3 Tbl raw sugar
• 1 egg slightly beat

Directions

• Combine flour, xanthan (if needed), salt, and sugar into a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
• Add shortening that has been cut into small pieces into the bowl. With a pastry cutter or two forks, cut shortening into the flour until the entire mix is crumbly.
• Add vinegar and 1 tablespoon of cold water. Continue cutting, adding 1/2 tablespoon of cold water at a time until a dough forms.
• Form dough into a ball and then press down into a disk. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. If making dough ahead of time, simply leave the well wrapped dough in the refrigerator until needed.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and thinly slice apples. In a bowl, mix apples with lemon juice.
• Combine, sugar, tapioca flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.
• Combine sugar spice mixture with apples and gently fold together until well blended. Set aside.
• Place dough on silicone baking mat or parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Place plastic wrap over dough and gently roll out to a 1/8 thickness circle or rectangle.
• Remove apple slices from bowl leaving extra liquid behind. Arrange slices in the center of the dough in your desired pattern. If desired, sprinkle top of apples with additional cinnamon.
• Gently fold over edges of dough onto the fruit, leaving the center of the pie open. If your dough rips, wet your hands and put it back together.
• Beat egg slightly and then gently brush top of dough. Sprinkle raw sugar on top of the dough. If you need to avoid eggs, brush the top of the dough lightly with a very small amount of water and then sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden and fruit is bubbly.
