Gluten-Free All-American Apple Pie

Ingredients:

2 prepared gluten-free pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
6 cups peeled and sliced tart apples (such as Granny Smith)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Additional sugar for sprinkling

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, gluten-free flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are coated evenly.

Roll out one of the prepared gluten-free pie crusts and line a 9-inch pie dish with it.

Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Dot the apple filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.
Roll out the second prepared gluten-free pie crust and place it over the apple filling.

Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges and crimp the edges to seal the pie.

Use a sharp knife to create a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Sprinkle some additional sugar over the egg-washed crust.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil.

Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Enjoy a slice of classic comfort with this Gluten-Free All-American Apple Pie, a timeless dessert that's perfect for any occasion!
