Gluten-free Apple Pie
Today has been one of those days where I woke up and it was a beautiful sunny but frozen day. I love being inside on these types of days puttering around the house or of course in the kitchen. I have had a lot of people ask me lately for a Gluten-free Apple Pie which I have been really putting off because peeling apples really isn't my most favorite thing to do. None the less I bucked up and peeled those apples. My family loves pies I mean any kind of pies. and I can never keep them around for long. When I'm in the kitchen I find my happy place by turning on a little soothing music while singing away, the cats look at me sometimes and I have to chuckle to myself. I hope you enjoy this Gluten-free Apple Pie.
