I cannot get enough of apples in the fall. I would seriously be happy to eat apple pie every. single. day. Macintosh are my favorite. What is yours? That being said, I am sure any type of apple would be delicious in this recipe.
This recipe grew from craving apple pie (surprise there). I dreamed about tender, cinnamon-y, sweet apples under a flaky crust. Yes, I am talking about the kind full of sugar and gluten.
So, I set forth to create a deviation of classic apple pie that still encompassed the same tastes, textures, and aromas of a freshly baked pie in autumn.
Luckily, you probably have all of the necessary ingredients in your house right now.
Here are some of the products for this recipe:
Serve with dairy free vanilla ice cream!

Notes
*I tried this recipe with arrowroot flour in attempts to make it grain-free. I found that the arrowroot thickened with the extra juices, forming chewy clumps. I use my favorite GF flour blend, Arrowhead Mills Organic Heritage Blend.
Mmm that sounds delish! We wound up with a bag full of apples yesterday, so looking around to find something yummy to bake them into. 🙂 Think I found the right recipe, thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
