Two Ingredients that Make this Gluten Free Apple Pie Special
The two ingredients that really make the flavors pop in this gluten free Apple Crumble Pie are the cherry jelly and the ginger. I have actually been adding ginger to my apple pies for a long time. It really warms up the flavors and gives it something special that some people might not even be able to pin-point. The cherry jelly was a new addition this year. I wanted to add a bit more sweetness and a nice tart flavor. That’s why this cherry jelly is perfect. All the flavors pair so nice together you and your family will love it. You really can get away with using any red jelly. I’ve tried this recipe with both strawberry and raspberry jelly with delicious results.
The Perfect Gluten Free Vegan Pie Crust
Gluten free pie crust can be so hard to get right. It has taken me many years but I have finally perfected my gluten free vegan pie crust recipe. It is flaky, buttery, and easy to work with. If you are anything like me you’ll probably eat the crust first and then the filling. That’s why having the perfect gluten free pie crust is so important.

Crumb-Topped Apple Pie
Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 1 recipe Gluten Free Vegan Pie Crust - click for recipe
Apple Pie Filling Ingredients
- 3 pounds apples - Fuji is a great option
- 1/4 cup superfine brown rice flour
- 1/4 cup cherry jelly - you can also use raspberry, strawberry, or even apple jelly for a delicious flavor spin
- 6 tablespoons cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Crumb-Topping Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup oats
- 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons dairy free butter - chilled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF
- First, prepare your apple pie filling. Cut all apples into small 1 inch cubes. This size ensures they will cook through.
- Mix your chopped apples in a large bowl with the rest of the apple pie filling ingredients. Mix very well until apples are completely coated in all ingredients. Let sit to "marinate" while you prepare your crust. If it is a hot or humid day put them in the fridge.
- Prepare your pie crust according to the Gluten Free Vegan Pie Crust Recipe.
- Then prepare you crumb-topping - In a medium sized bowl whisk together the oat flour, oats and dark brown sugar for the crumb topping. Cut in the chilled margarine either with your hands, knives, or a pastry cutter. Combine just until a crumble forms.
- Pour the marinated apples into the pie crust then crumble on your crumb topping.
- Bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until the crust is slightly golden and you can see the pie filling bubbling. You can also test apple tenderness by sticking a butter knife into one of the apples. They should be ever so slightly crisp but mostly soft.*If the apples are not cooked but the crumble is getting too brown loosely place a piece of aluminum foil on top.
