Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
  • Dough
  • 2 cups of Bette Hagman’s 4 flour mix: (2/3 cup Garfava or garbanzo bean flour, ⅓ cup sorghum flour, 1 cup cornstarch, 1 cup tapioca starch flour)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp xanthan gum
  • ¾ cup margarine such as Earth Balance
  • 4-5 Tbsp ice cold water
  • Filling
  • 4 Apples (Gala works well), peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick
  • ½ cup sugar mixed with 2 tsp cinnamon
  • About 6 dabs of margarine such as Earth Balance
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl mix the 4-flour mix well. Take out 1 cup and reserve it for another use.
  2. To the 2 remaining cups of flour, mix in the salt and xanthan gum.
  3. With a fork, cut in the margarine until well mixed.
  5. Stir in 4 Tbsp cold water and knead the dough. If it seems too dry add in the additional Tbsp cold water. Dough should be pliable, but not too sticky.
  6. Divide in half.
  7. Wet counter and put a sheet of wax paper down. Water will keep sheet from moving.
  8. Pat half dough ball into a circle on wax paper.
  10. Cover with another sheet wax paper and roll out a bit larger than your pie plate so that you have enough dough to go up the sides.
  11. Peel off top waxed paper.
  13. Pick up dough with wax paper and invert onto pie plate (or invert pie plate onto dough and then flip the 2 over together).
  15. Peel off wax paper and press dough into pie plate.
  17. Spread sliced apples in crust.
  18. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over top of apples.
  20. Put a few dabs of margarine over top of apple mixture.
  21. Invert remaining crust onto pie and cut off any excess.
  23. Press together edges.
  24. Rub top with a little water from a wet hand.
  25. Make 3-4 slices in top dough to let steam out.
  27. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour (check after 45 min) until crust is nicely browned.
