Mike Hayes’ Apple Pie Recipe

Note: This pie can be made gluten free by using a gluten free crust, since the filling and sauce recipes are both gluten free.

Ingredients:

2 homemade or store bought pie crusts

About 8 apples tart apples preferred.

1/2c butter

3Tbs gluten free all purpose flour

1/2c brown sugar

1/2c sugar

1/4c water

To make the pie:

Slice the apples into wedges about 1/2inch thick. Remove the core and any seeds. Align apples in the piecrust so they fit together and so they raise slightly above the edge of the pie pan in the center. If you are using the sugar topping as a filling add it now. Roll out the second sheet of pie dough and cut it into strips about 1/2inch wide. Lay them down across the pie to form a lattice. Press the pieces into the edge of the piecrust. After the lattice is completed drizzle the topping over the lattice. Be sure to pour it slowly so it does not pour over the sides.

To make the sugar filling/topping:

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and mix. Add both sugars and the water. Mix and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins.

This sauce can be added to the filling of the pie or drizzled on top over the lattice.
