    Ingredients

    For the crust:
    Use your favorite G-Free Double Pie crust recipe. We recommend using  our Gluten Free Double Pie Crust recipe and substituting ice cold applejack, apple cider or brandy for the water.

    For the Filling:

    • 3 to 3 ½ pounds apples, mixture of Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn and Golden Delicious, about 6 large apples
    • ½ cup sugar, divided
    • 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
    • 2 tablespoons apple jelly
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider
    • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground grains of paradise or Gluten Free apple pie spice if you prefer

    Recommended Special Equipment:
    Tart Pan and Pie Bird

    Directions

    Prepare pie dough as directed, and refrigerate.

    To Make the Filling:

    Peel and core the apples. Slice into ½-inch thick wedges or slices. Toss all of the apples with ¼ cup of the sugar, place in a colander set over a large bowl and allow to drain for 1 ½ hours.

    Transfer the drained liquid to a small saucepan, place over medium heat and reduce to 2 tablespoons. Set aside to cool. Toss the apples with the remaining sugar, tapioca flour, jelly, cider, lime juice, salt and grains of paradise or pie spice.

    For Assembling and Baking the Pie:

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

    Remove one disk of dough from the refrigerator. Place the dough onto a lightly floured piece of waxed paper. Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and roll out into a 12-inch circle. Place into a 9 ½ to 10-inch tart pan that is 2-inches deep. Gently press the dough into the sides of the pan, crimping and trimming the edges as necessary. Set a pie bird in the center of the bottom of the pan.

    Place the apples into the unbaked pie shell in concentric circles starting around the edges, working towards the center and forming a slight mound in the center of the pie. Pour over any liquid that remains in the bowl. Roll out the second pie dough as the first. Place this dough over the apples, pressing the pie bird through the top crust. Press together the edges of the dough around the rim of the pie. Brush the top crust with the reduced juice everywhere except around the edge of pie. Trim any excess dough. Place the pie on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake on the floor** of the oven for 30 minutes. Transfer to the lower rack of the oven and continue to bake another 20 minutes or until the apples are cooked through but not mushy. Remove to a rack and cool a minimum of 4 hours or until almost room temperature.

    **If you're using an electric oven with coils on the bottom of the oven, place the pie on the sheet pan on the lowest rack over the coils, NOT directly on top of them.

    This is a Gluten Free, G-Free Foodie version of a much-loved recipe by Alton Brown.
