Hi, Al. I'm glad to hear you'd like to make a special apple pie for your daughter using this technique. You can definitely try the cinnamon bun pie crust method using our Measure for Measure Flour, however the pie crust will be more delicate and is likely to separate slightly when transferring to the top of the pie. One thing that can help improve the consistency and texture of gluten-free recipes is adding a few tablespoons of extra butter. This is especially helpful when making a low-moisture recipe like pie crust. Another tip: Let the pie crust rest in the fridge overnight before rolling out and using the next day. This will allow the gluten-free flour to hydrate and give the pie crust a tender, smooth mouthfeel.
Another option is to make our Gluten-Free Apple Pie recipe and generously coat the top with cinnamon-sugar, adding more flavor the each bite. We hope you'll share your results with us. Happy GF baking!
