From Our Kitchen

Learn how to make this fall staple at home. You can use any apples, although our Chefs recommend tart baking apples like Braeburns or Granny Smiths. If you’d prefer, the gluten-free flour can be swapped easily for regular all-purpose flour. Grab your vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Yields: 1 Pie

Ingredients for Crust: 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 sticks cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 8 tablespoons ice-cold water

Crust Preparation: Step 1 Cut half of the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until it has the consistency of cornmeal. Step 2 Cut the remaining butter into the dough and work until the butter’s in pea-sized pieces. Step 3 Sprinkle the dough with the water. Step 4 Blend the water into the dough until it just holds together. If necessary, add 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of additional water. Step 5 Divide the dough in half and mold each half into a disk. Step 6 Roll out one disk of dough to roughly 12 inches in diameter Step 7 Put dough into pie pan, gently trimming off excess dough with knife. Step 8 Place pan in refrigerator.

Note: Gluten-free pie crust will be fragile. For best results, roll out on wax paper sheets and transfer to pie plate.
