apple pie take 2

Gluten Free Apple Pie

3/4 c brown rice flour
3/4 c ground almonds
25g butter chilled
1 egg beaten
2 medium apples
1/4 c applesauce

For the crust:

mix the brown rice flour and ground almonds together. Add the egg and butter and mix together. The dough remains very sticky!
(I spread it into the piepan with the back of a spoon dipped in water to smooth it out. I guess you could add more flour but I was so happy with the end result I wouldn't change anything!)
Put pie weights or dried beans/rice and prebake the crust for 10 minutes at 180C.
While baking peel and thinly slice the apples.

Finishing the pie:

When the crust is done spread the applesauce over the bottom and arrange the apple slices on top - bake for another 15-20 minutes until the apples are cooked and just starting to turn brown. the crust was very yummy, had just a slightly nutty taste and was almost like a "pate brisee" like a big cookie :-) yum!
