Rustic Old Fashioned Apple Pie

This Gluten Free Apple Pie recipe is the best old fashioned pie made with a homemade crust. It's bursting with apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg!

Normally I'm all about tweaking or experimenting with traditional recipes in order to come up with some 'new' or 'improved' version of it. But then there are those timeless recipes that I just want to remain timeless. This Old Fashioned Apple Pie is one of them.

There are millions of apple pie recipes floating around the internet and scribbled on index cards stuffed into old church cookbooks that are handed down through generations of grandmas and aunts.

No version is really any better than another. They're all delicious. That's because apple pie is classic. There was nothing wrong to begin with and so there's really nothing to 'improve'. I took the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach with this recipe.

This no-fuss, no-frills version focuses on the basics - A scratch-made crust, fresh apples in season, and just the right amount of spice. Nothing more, nothing less.

What Are The Best Apples For Baking Pie?

I like to use a combination of tart and sweet apples. The combination of tart and sweet flavors creates a filling that's flavorful and balanced.

It's important not to choose apple varieties that are too soft or the filling may become mushy as it bakes.

The 'go-to' apple for most pies is Granny Smith - This variety provides a tartness that stands up to the sugars in the pie and prevents it from becoming overly sweet.

Granny Smith apples are also firm and don't become mushy when baked.

I love to complement the tartness of the Granny Smith apples with a sweeter variety such as Fuji, Gala, Braeburn, Jonagold, or Honeycrisp.

Do I Need To Peel Apples For Apple Pie?

I normally opt to cook produce with the skins intact (there is nothing better than a batch of  Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes with the skins on) and I rarely peel carrots but when it comes to apple desserts it's best to peel the apples before baking.

Leaving the skins on the apples will cause the filling to develop a weird texture and I'm not sure it would taste all the good.

Peel and Dice The Apples

  1. Completely peel the skins from 6 apples - 3 Granny Smith (or other tart apple variety) and 3 sweeter apples.
  2. Cut the apples into small slices. It's important that the slices are relatively the same size so the filling cooks evenly.

How To Make Pie Crust From Scratch

The key to a nice rustic, old fashioned pie is a homemade crust.

Pie crust is one of those things that seems intimidating at first and it's true that the process becomes easier the more you do it but I assure you homemade pie dough is TOTALLY do-able (and so rewarding when you take that first bite).

I first published this post a few years ago when gluten was still very much a part of my diet. The recipe has been updated and is now gluten free but I have prepared it both ways and will provide directions for each.

To prepare the gluten free pie dough for this Apple Pie follow this recipe - How To Make Gluten Free Pie Crust. It will provide you with step-by-step instructions for baking a gluten free crust that's every bit as delicious as a regular one.

That gluten free pie crust recipe is GREAT to have on hand during the holiday season if you are serving guests that are gluten free (and don't want them to stare sadly while all your gluten eating guests happily scarf down their homemade piece of pie).

If you would like to follow a traditional pie dough recipe and don't have a problem with gluten follow this recipe - How To Make Homemade Pie Crust.

Once you get the hang of it the process of rolling out pie dough is actually pretty fun (messy, but fun). The most important thing to remember is that pie crust does NOT have to be perfect. Pie is meant to be rustic, not perfect.

How To Make Gluten Free Apple Pie From Scratch

Once the pie dough has been prepared and is chilling in the fridge it's time to make the filling.

I like to do this by tossing everything into a large bowl and mixing it together with a large spoon.

How To Make Apple Pie Filling

  1. Place all the sliced apples (both the sweet and tart) into a large bowl and add 2 heaping Tbsp. of lemon juice (be careful not to get any seeds in the bowl) 1 ¼ packed cup of brown sugar (or dark brown sugar) 3 tsp. cinnamon, ½ tsp. nutmeg, 3 Tbsp. gluten free flour blend (or AP flour if not gluten free), and a pinch of kosher salt.
  2. Mix all of the ingredients together. The apples will start to macerate in the brown sugar. This means that the sugar will draw some of the liquid out of the apples.

A Note About The Filling

This recipe is written to fill a 9″ pie dish. If you are using a deep-dish pie plate you may need to double the amount of filling in order to have enough to accommodate the deeper dish.

Is It Better To Cook Apple Pie Filling First?

Once the filling has been prepared it's time to roll out the pie dough. This is a double crust pie meaning that both pie crusts will be used to make one pie - One of the crusts will hold the filling and the other is placed on top and the two crusts are crimped together with a fork.

It is not necessary to bake the apple pie filling before adding it to the crust. Baking the filling first would result in the apples becoming mushy.

  1. Remove the prepared pie crusts that have been chilling in the fridge.
  2. Roll out the two pie crusts with a rolling pin.
  3. Place one of the crusts in a 9" glass pie dish ( Trim the edges if there's tons of dough hanging over the sides).
  4. Using a slotted spoon place the apple filling into the pie dish. The slotted spoon will help to get the filling into the dish without all the extra juices from the apples. Those sugary juices are delicious but will cause the pie filling to become watery.
  5. Cut 1 Tbsp. of butter into small pies and dot the top of the filling with it.

How To Keep Apple Pie From Becoming Watery

Adding the flour to the filling will help to thicken it as it bakes in addition to leaving out those extra juices from the apples.

What Can I Do With Those Extra Pie Scraps?

Place any extra pie crust trimmings in a pie plate and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes for a 'pre-pie' treat!

How Long Do I Bake Apple Pie?

Baking times for this (or any pie for that matter) may vary slightly depending on your oven, the altitude at which you live, or the type of pie plate you are using.

A good starting point for this recipe is 60 minutes. Mine took a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes but it may be slightly different for you.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Place the second crust on top of the filled bottom and crimp the edges together (this can be done with your fingers or a fork). You can get as fancy as you like with the crimped edges. Feel free to cut little leaf designs with the extra crust and attach them to the top. You can make a lattice top. I'm a total perfectionist but NOT when it comes to pies. No fancy shapes or designs for me. I like to press it together and call it good.
  3. The last step is to cut 4-5 slits on the top of the pie with a knife. This will allow some of the steam to escape.

How To Bake Pie From Scratch

  1. Loosely cover (or tent) the pie with a piece of tinfoil (large enough to cover the pie) and place the pie in the oven. The tinfoil will prevent the edges of the pie from burning and will help the top crust cook more evenly.
  2. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Remove the foil at the 45 minute mark and rotate the pie so it bakes evenly (it's OK if the edges brown at the end of the baking process).
  4. Check the pie at the end of the cooking time. The top should be golden brown and the apples should be easily pierced with a knife. You want them soft but not mushy.

Sometimes pies leak as they're baking. Feel free to place an extra baking sheet on the rack below the pie to catch any spills as it bakes.

After the crust is golden and the filling is soft and bubbly remove from the oven and set aside to cool for an hour or two.

Does Apple Pie Need To Be Refrigerated?

Once the Gluten Free Apple Pie has cooled enough to eat cut yourself a slice and enjoy. Pies like this really are one of life's simple pleasures.

You can serve it with whipped cream or ice cream if you like. I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't really like ice cream with pie so all I need is a cup of coffee and I'm set.

This pie should last 3-4 days at room temperature. I recommend covering it with a towel if you're going to keep it on the counter top so the crust doesn't dry out.

You can certainly store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days if you like but it's not necessary.

Can Apple Pie Be Frozen?

Gluten Free Apple Pie can be made ahead of time and frozen.

How To Freeze

  1. Bake the pie as directed and allow to cool completely before freezing. Make sure to use a freezer-to-oven safe baking dish if freezing this pie - Avoid storing the pie in glass or Pyrex dishes in the freezer as they may shatter with the temperature.
  2. Wrap the pie tightly with plastic wrap and place in a heavy-duty freezer bag and store up to 3 months.
  3. Defrost by placing the pie in the freezer overnight the day before serving or leave at room temperature for an hour or two.
  4. Unwrap and place the pie in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15-20 minutes to warm before serving.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 large tart apples like Granny Smith
  • 3 large sweet apples like Braeburn, Fuji, or Gala
  • 1 ¼ packed cups brown sugar or dark brown sugar
  • 2 heaping Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp. gluten free flour blend or AP flour if not gluten free
  • 3 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. nutmeg
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp. butter

For The Pie Crust:

  • 3 cups gluten free flour blend or AP flour if not gluten free
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

Prepare The Pie Dough:

  • Prepare the pie dough. If gluten free use this recipe for How To Make Gluten Free Pie Crust and if not gluten free use this recipe for How To Make Homemade Pie Crust. Chill the pie dough in the fridge according to recipe instructions.
  • When making this pie gluten free, it's important to par-bake the bottom crust first, but it is not necessary to par-bake the top crust. First, par-bake the bottom crust, allow to cool, add the fillings, and then add the top crust (without par-baking), cut some air vents, and crimp the edges. The pie is now ready to bake.
    When making this pie with AP flour, it is not necessary to par-bake the bottom or top crusts.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Completely peel the skins from 6 apples – 3 Granny Smith (or other tart apple variety) and 3 sweeter apples.
  • Cut the apples into small slices. It’s important that the slices are relatively the same size so the filling cooks evenly.

For The Filling:

  • Combine all of the sliced apples, 1 ¼ packed cups brown sugar (or dark brown sugar), 2 heaping Tbsp. lemon juice (careful not to get any seeds in the filling), 3 Tbsp. gluten free flour blend (or AP flour if not gluten free), 3 tsp. cinnamon, ½ tsp. nutmeg, and a pinch of kosher salt in a large bowl. Stir until completely combined. (The apples will start to macerate and form a sugary liquid as they sit).
  • Remove the prepared pie crusts that have been chilling in the fridge. Roll out the two pie crusts with a rolling pin. Place one of the crusts in a 9″ glass pie dish ( Trim the edges if there’s tons of dough hanging over the sides).
  • Using a slotted spoon place the apple filling into the pie dish. The slotted spoon will help to get the filling into the dish without all the extra juices from the apples. Those sugary juices are delicious but will cause the pie filling to become watery.
  • Cut 1 Tbsp. butter into small pieces and dot the top of the filling with it.
  • Place the other crust on top of the filling. Crimp the edges of the pie together with your fingers or a fork until it is sealed.
  • Cut 4-5 slits in the top crust to allow the steam to escape while baking.
  • Cover (or tent) the pie with a piece of tinfoil (large enough to cover the pie) and place the pie in the oven. The tinfoil will prevent the edges of the pie from burning and will help the top crust cook more evenly.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the foil at the 45 minute mark and rotate the pie so it bakes evenly (it’s OK if the edges brown at the end of the baking process).
  • Check the pie at the end of the cooking time. The top should be golden brown and the apples should be easily pierced with a knife. They should be soft, but not mushy.
  • Remove pie once it's done and set aside to cool for an hour or two.
  • To Serve: Serve pie with whipped cream or ice cream (optional).

Notes

Place any extra pie crust trimmings in a pie plate and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes for a ‘pre-pie’ treat!
Feel free to place an extra baking sheet under the pie in the oven to catch any spills from the pie as it bakes.
This recipe is written to fill a 9″ pie dish. If you are using a deep-dish pie plate you may need to double the amount of filling in order to have enough to accommodate the deeper dish.

    Thanks Christine,
    Grandma's magic crust is now demystified, keeping it simple, yet delicious is a true gift you so elegantly share! I'm salivating waiting for the oven to preheat. Happy memories of Gram Dunn busily tending to the details of dinner from her wood cook stove; the boy relegated to the stool to watch and lick the spoon. Like a sorcerer's apprentice, eye's wide with amazement, stay back or you'll get burned. She hands me a slice of sharp cheddar to layer on top the pie's slice, before the scoop of hand churned vanilla melts atop the warm pie; Pure Bliss!!! Thanks for the recipe and reminiscent journey to a happy, happy, happy place!

    Years ago I was able to go apple picking every Fall, and would come home with a bushel or more of apples! Apple chutney, applesauce, apple butter, and about 15 versions of apple pie... you really can't go wrong. And yes - the classic, basic one is finally the best - nothing getting in teh way of the apple flavor.

    Hello Christine,
    All your recipes just look so great and I bet they taste great as well. I will be trying them soon.
    I noticed you make no mention of adding xanthan gum to your recipes. This helps gluten free flour to react like normal by giving it a bit stretch to baked goodies. Have you ever used it? Just wondering.

I love to test out new ingredients, though, and will give it a try sometime! Thank you for the recommendation - I'm looking to start making gluten free pizza dough which definitely needs all the stretch it can get!
