We all crave a classic Apple Pie when the weather cools. Piled high in buttery flaky crust, this gluten-free Apple Pie is filled with freshly picked apples seasoned with brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. I love making Apple Pie with combinations of Honey Crisp and Granny Smith apples for a little tang.
