How

Ingredients

• 3 cups gluten-free flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup ice water
• 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use your fingers to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the ice water to the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6. While the dough is chilling, make the filling. In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust. Dot the filling with the melted butter.
8. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and crimp to seal. Brush the top of the pie with milk.
9. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
10. Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
