Could you use Instant ClearJel in place of the flour or tapioca starch for the filling? If so, what would be the recommended amount?
Our Baker's Companion cookbook has a terrific chart in the Pie Chapter (page 422) that lists fruits and various thickeners. For each cup of apple, use 1/2 teaspoon ClearJel. This is the amount for thickening pies, you might use that amount or slightly less for apple crisp or cobbler. Happy Baking! Irene @ KAF
