Ingredients

  • 1 9 inch Gluten free graham cracker crust (click for recipe or purchase a gluten free graham cracker crust)

Apple Pie Filling

  • 5 medium tart apples (I use a combination of Granny Smith and Honey Crisp)
  • 2 cups apple juice
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Crumb Topping

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup quick oats
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Apple Pie Filling

  • Pre-heat oven to 350℉. Peel, core, and slice apples into thin, uniform slices, about ¼ inch thick. As you are slicing the apples, toss them in a bowl with apple juice (enough to cover the apple slices) to prevent browning.

  • Once the apples are all sliced, drain the apples in a colander placed on top of a bowl. Save the apple juice.

  • Add 1 ½ cups apple juice (use the apple juice used to cover the apple slices) to the dry ingredients. The mixture will be thick, but as the sugars melt, it will thin out.
