Author:
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegetarian
Ingredients
  • 1 double recipe super flaky gluten-free crust or your favorite 9 inch double pie crust, one for bottom crust and one for lattice
  • ½ cup butter
  • 3 Tablespoon flour
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 8 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced evenly
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. Melt butter in heavy bottom sauce pan and stir in flour until a bit of a paste forms. Stir in sugars, spices and water and bring to a boil. Reduce and let simmer until the mixture caramelizes and reduces slightly. Try you best not to take the whole pot of crazy delicious caramel to the face (maybe the fact that it's scalding hot will help, sadly it didn't for me!)
  3. Place crust in bottom of pie pan and fill it with the apples. Make sure there are enough apples to mound slightly. Cover with the lattice and pinch the crust edges. Slowly and carefully pour the caramel mixture evenly through the lattice.
  4. Bake 15 minutes at 425 then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 35-45 minutes until apples are soft.
ENJOY!!!
