Recipe Introduction

From Gluten Free Easily - http://glutenfreeeasily.com/mom-and-apple-pie/

List of Ingredients

deep-dish 9-inch pie plate, greased
5 to 6 apples, peeled and cut up (4 1/2 to 5 cups)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup gluten-free flour
1/2 tsp xanthan gum (omit, if using a flour mix that already contains xanthan gum)
1 cup sugar
1 egg (I used a jumbo brown egg)


Recipe

Put apples in greased pie plate and sprinkle with cinnamon and one tablespoon of sugar.

In a bowl, mix one cup of sugar, flour, xanthan gum, and coconut oil.

Blend in unbeaten egg and pinch of salt.

Mix well and pour over apples. (This mixture will be thick, so you will have to spread it with a spatula to cover all the apples.)

Sprinkle more cinnamon over top. (I confess, I forget this final step often &the pie still turns out great.)

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Flour suggestion: I used Jules gluten-free flour mix. However, another very economical option is the gluten-free flour mix that I use most of the time. It consists of three parts Asian white rice flour (much more finely ground that typical white rice flour) and two parts cornstarch. I make 5 lbs of this mix at a time. I use three 1-lb bags of Asian white rice flour and two 1-lb boxes of Argo cornstarch. Mix well, but gently in a very large bowl and then transfer to airtight storage containers (like Tupperware).

Shirley's Notes: I'm sure you could make this in an 8-inch square casserole dish or something similar if you don't have a deep-dish pie plate. I used 4 1/2 apples yesterday, that's all that was needed to fill my pie plate, yet leave enough room to pour over the crust. Also, for you folks who don't use gums, I've made it without xanthan gum successfully as well.
