Thanksgiving Dessert Ideas

Ingredients

• •1 - 9 inch Your favorite pie crust
• •3 large Granny Smith apples
• •3 large Macintosh apples
• 🍋Juice of one lemon
• •1/4 cup Flour (I use 1:1 for gf)
• •1/3 packed Light brown sugar
• •1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• •1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
• 🌿1 tsp Apple pie spice
• •1/2 cup For topping: flour of choice
• •1/3 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
• •1/3 cup Light brown sugar (for topping)
• 🧈1/2 cup Cold butter cubed

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lower your oven rank to lowest position that you can. (This will prevent pie from over browning too soon)
2. 2Get your pie crust ready. If you’re using a frozen pie crust sit it out for 15 minutes at room temperature and then put in fridge until ready to use. If you’re using homemade, get it ready in your pie pan and put into fridge. I am using a gluten free pie crust from Sprouts. They’re my favorite!
3. 3In a large mixing bowl, combine peeled-cubed apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of flour (I’m using 1:1 GF flour), cinnamon and apple pie spice. Fold until evenly coated. Set aside and work on topping.
4. 4To make the topping: combine 1/2 cup flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar and cold cubed butter in a bowl. You can use a pastry cutter, a fork, or my favorite.. your hands to cut the butter into the mixture. Keep mixing until mixture comes together like a coarse sand.
5. 5Remove pie crust from the refrigerator and spread apples evenly in crust. If your apples have made any extra liquid you’ll want to drain that so your pie crust doesn’t get soggy. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the top of the apples.
6. 6Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the apple mixture is nice and bubbly. If the crust is beginning to brown too soon before your timer is up, you can simply tent a piece of foil over top of the pie to shield the extra heat and slow down the browning.
7. 7Remove pie from oven and let it come to room temperature before cutting. This part is the hard part…waiting! But I promise it won’t cut well if you cut while it’s hot. If you want a warm slice, a quick 15-20 seconds in the microwave works great. Top with vanilla ice cream and serve! Enjoy!
