When I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and told I needed to cut out gluten, I thought my days of eating bread and many desserts I loved were over. Through trial and error I am discovering a whole new world of delicious treats! I hope you find this recipe to be delicious like I did!

PIE CRUST
INGREDIENTS:
1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend * I used Cup4Cup
¼ teaspoon salt
9 tablespoons butter * see note
1 large egg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ cup water +1 to 3 additional tablesppons
INSTRUCTIONS
*Gather all ingredients.
*In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
*Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until it is in tiny pieces.
*In a small bowl, add wet ingredients and mix.
*Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix. Use your hands to make a dough ball.
**Make sure dough is well chilled before next steps. (Let's just say there may have been a slight incident because I forgot this step initially. 😄)
*Place the chilled dough ball onto a piece of lightly floured wax paper or pastry mat.
*Top dough with light dusting of flour then top with another piece of wax paper and use a rolling pin to roll flat in a circle shape.
**Roll out dough very thin or it will be hard to cut through once baked. (Guess how I know this? 🤣)
*Remove the top piece of wax paper. Place the dough... dough side to the greased pir pan and drop in. Remove the wax paper or pastry mat. Shape dough to pie pan.
*Pierce tiny holes in bottom of dough.

*If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
