How to make a gluten free pie crust
The crust is actually really simple and bakes in just 12-13 minutes! You just need a food processor. Here are the easy steps we use to make this gluten free pie crust.
Add all of the dry crust ingredients to the bowl of your food processor. Add the wet ingredients on top.Pulse the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. It will start to stick together and make balls in the food processor. I pulse on and off until I get to one or two balls of dough. Then, just press the dough out into your pie dish, so it’s in as even of a layer as you can get it with the edges pushed up along the side of the dish. I like to poke holes in the crust with a fork so that it doesn’t get air bubbles in it while it bakes.
What are your favorite Gluten Free baking flours?
We used Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour, which has become a go-to for baking for me because it really takes the thinking out of what can be kind of complicated. It’s a great blend of Gluten Free and Paleo-friendly flours (almond, arrowroot, coconut and tapioca flours) in just the right proportions. For this pie crust, I also added a bit extra of their Tapioca Flour to make the crust a little more doughy and pliable for pressing into your pie dish. We have been using Bob’s Red Mill for years and love their dedication to high-quality, minimally-processed products from the mill to our table. All of their products are also certified Kosher and made with ingredients grown from non-GMO seeds.
How to make Dairy Free pumpkin pie filling
This dairy free pumpkin pie filling leaves nothing to desire. It is buttery and velvety smooth, with the perfect amount of spice. It is both dairy and egg free and no bake to boot – a great time saver! So, while your gluten free pie crust is baking, make the pumpkin pie filling on the stove real quick. It’s super quick and easy. Here’s what you do.
Add all of the pumpkin pie filling ingredients, except for the water and gelatin, to a sauce pan. Turn the heat on to medium-low and whisk the ingredients together.While the mixture heats up, combine the warm water and gelatin in a ramekin or small bowl. You’ll want to whisk the gelatin into the water as you pour it in to avoid clumps forming. If there are any clumps, just toss them out. Pour the gelatin mixture into the sauce pan and continue to whisk everything together. Once combined, turn the heat off and let it cool until the crust is ready.
Some tips for putting it all together
Once the pie crust has cooled enough that you can touch the dish, pour the dairy free pie filling into the crust. Cover the pie and place it in the fridge to set. Use something to cover the dish that won’t adhere to the pie filling. We use bees wrap or leave it uncovered until it’s set and then cover. PRO TIP: It works best if you make this gluten free pie a day in advance so it can set in the fridge overnight.
Don’t forget the whipped coconut cream
Pumpkin pie just isn’t the same without a big dollop of whipped cream on it! If you’re Paleo or dairy free, you can have some whipped coconut cream with this pumpkin pie. We have a comprehensive post on how to make whipped coconut cream so you can get the perfect topping for your pie every time!
