Gluten-Free, Vegan Skillet Apple Pie---

Apple pie baked in a cast iron skillet is amazing, add to that gluten-free and vegan, and it is Pie Nirvana. 

Let's make some gluten-free, vegan apple pie!

INGREDIENTS

Filling:

• 2 (9 in.) gf pie shells--we used Wholly Wholesome Gluten-Free Pie shells (these are also Vegan)
• 3 cups sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. nutmeg
• 10 cups tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
• dash salt
• 4 tbsp. Earth Balance

Topping:

• 2 tbsp. almond milk
• sugar to sprinkle on top

DIRECTIONS:

• In a large mixing bowl, add sliced apples. Coat with the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss well. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. This allows the juices from the apples to be released into a syrup.

• Drain the syrup, place in a small saucepan. Bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer until mixture slightly thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove. Let cool completely.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add flour and salt to drained apples. Mix well. 

• Spray skillet with non-stick spray. Place the first pie shell on the bottom. Add apples. Pour syrup over apples. Add dollops of Earth Balance. 

• Place remaining pie shell over the apples. Cut slits in the top (I break the pie shell, and add another because I love the crust.) Brush almond milk over the pastry. Sprinkle with sugar.

• Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes. Cool and serve.

VIOLA!
