A tasty gluten-free take on the traditional apple pie, with a flaky crust and a spiced apple filling that goes just right. This recipe from Lexi's Clean Kitchen is great for everyone, even those who can't eat certain foods.

Ingredients: 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2/3 cup cold butter, cubed. 6-8 tablespoons ice water. 6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. 2 tablespoons tapioca flour or cornstarch. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. 1 egg, beaten for egg wash. 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling.

Instructions: Salt and gluten-free flour should be mixed together in a food processor. Pulse in the cold cubed butter until the mixture looks like big crumbs. One tablespoon at a time, add ice water until the dough comes together. Split the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and put both halves in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Turn on your oven and heat it up to 425F 220C. Apple slices, sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, tapioca flour, and lemon juice should all be mixed together in a large bowl. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the rolled-out dough in the pie pan and trim the edges of any extra dough. Put the apple mix into the pie crust. Put the second piece of chilled dough on top of the apples after rolling it out. To close the pie, crimp the edges. For the top crust, beat an egg and sprinkle coarse sugar over it. Cut a few holes in the top crust so that the steam can escape. After the oven is hot, bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool down before you serve it.
