Steve and I made the pie a few weeks ago, but I've been lazy with the posting. We had picked cortland apples after running through Davis's Mega Maze for a few hours, so hooray for fresh materials! But boo for not being able to use instant pie crust :( due to allergies. So Steve and I got to try our hand at a GF crust - rice flour, tapioca flour, xanthum gum, and some other stuff. The recipe was on the box of rice flour. We didn't have enough patience or time to make 2 crusts, so we went on my friend's advice to do a Dutch apple pie - it just has a bottom crust and then butter on the top.
The other thing we realized while making the pie was that I did not have any cornstarch. The flour in the filling part is meant to thicken it up, but rice flour doesn't do that. We ended up putting in some tapioca flour, but it was still runny.
Close up for awesome apple goodness!!
It turned out more like an apple crisp than a proper pie, but it was quite good!
