This is my go-to apple pie and crust for holidays. It’s simple, tasty, and allergy-friendly. And it’s a winner every time.
Truth be told, sometimes I make one just for me… ’cause I love it.

Double-Crust Pastry
2014-11-07 14:05:49
Free of gluten, eggs, dairy & refined sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 c. tapioca flour
- 1 c. brown rice flour
- 1 T. flax meal
- 2 t. xanthan gum
- 1/2 t. salt
- 3/4 c. lard (or butter, if you can do dairy, please note coconut oil does not work)
- 1 T. honey
- 1/2 c. cold water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut in lard until pea-sized crumbs appear.
- Drizzle honey over mixture and stir in using a fork.
- Slowly add water, stirring as little as possible, until a ball forms. (Not all the water may be necessary.)
- Smoosh pastry into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (about 20-30 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Divide dough in half. Place on half back in the fridge, and place the other half between two sheets of plastic wrap. Roll out and fit into pie plate.
- Add filling.
- Remove other half of pastry from the fridge and roll out between two pieces of plastic wrap. Fit over filling and flute or crimp edges.
- With a sharp knife, make a few slashes in the top for steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then cover with foil and bake another 35 minutes, or until filling is bubbly.

Thanks for hosting at Simple Meals Friday! You recipes always draw me in. This looks fabulous, I may have to make it today. So simple. Oh, and that GF pie crust, tucking that one away for future use!
Thanks Katie! I hope that you enjoy it! : )
Have you tried tried freezing this? Do i bake it then freeze it or freeze it then bake? Temp and how long?
I've never tried freezing it Savannah, but if I were going to I would probably bake it first and then freeze it. To reheat it I would just stick it in the oven, covered in foil, for about 1/2 hour, or until warmed through.
This looks delicious! Thanks so much for sharing on the Thankful HomeAcre Hop! Pinning to make!

Oh I LOVE apple pie! Thank you for sharing this at Healing With Food Friday! Come back again this week – we are LIVE now!

Thanks! 🙂
So the recipe says "Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350.." but doesn't say what temp to start at. What temp should it be at for the first 15 mins?
Thanks for pointing that out Andrea! I've modified the directions. : )
The Filling calls for 1/8 t, cloves, whole cloves? Or should I grind them first?
