1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend already contains it)
1 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
6–8 tbsp ice water

For the filling

3 lbs (about 6–7 medium) apples, peeled, cored, and sliced ¼-inch thick
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

For the egg wash

1 large egg, beaten
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, xanthan gum (if using), and 1 tsp salt. Add the cold butter cubes and work them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
2
Drizzle in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition, until the dough just comes together when pressed — it should hold its shape without crumbling but not feel wet or sticky. You may need anywhere from 6 to 8 tablespoons.
