Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 6 to 8 tablespoons Ice Water
- 4 medium Apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Egg, beaten (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease muffin tins or mini pie pans.
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually to form dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thick. Cut into circles to fit muffin tins. Press into tins and reserve scraps.
- In another bowl, mix apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Fill each crust.
- Use leftover dough to top pies. Brush tops with beaten egg.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and bubbling. Cool slightly before removing.
Notes
- Use a gluten free flour blend with xanthan gum for best crust texture.
- Let pies cool in the pan before removing to help them set.
- Top with coarse sugar for extra crunch and sparkle.
