Great Grandma Jean's Apple Pie
There is nothing like a Grandmother's Apple Pie, especially when it is made by her Great Grandson for a cause. Fifth grader Elijah entered this recipe into a gluten-free contest to raise money in support of one of his teachers needing funds for an organ transplant. The pie was devoured and won for the Best Gluten-Free Dessert. There is no question why!
The original pie was a gluten pie, so using your favorite gluten crust and gluten flour for the crumb topping will also work if not wishing to make a gluten-free version.
