Another Slice of Apple Pie

Basics, Dessert, Recipes, Snacks 2 Comments

I just wanted to post ANOTHER apple pie recipe. This recipe has different gluten free flours to create the crust. Previously, I posted a Sugar Kissed Apple Pie that just substituted all-purpose flour with Better Batter’s gluten free flour. If you don’t want to use a flour substitute, this recipe is great because it incorporates different flours that will give you a great taste to your crust!

There are a BUNCH of different flours! Don’t let that scare you!

  3. In 3-quart saucepan, place apples, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/8 teaspoon salt, the cinnamon and nutmeg. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
