French Apple Pie (Gluten Free Dairy Free)

This is a fall family favorite! After a trip to pick apples at the apple orchard, this is one of the first dishes I make. I love that the filling batter makes its own crust!

Filling Ingredients:

• 4 medium tart baking apples, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp apple pie spice
• 1/2 c. gluten free baking flour mix (GF Bisquik in a pinch)
