Gluten Free Peach Pie

After receiving several requests for a gluten free peach pie recipe, I developed this recipe. My favorite way to serve is cold after firming it up in the refrigerator for a few minutes. This prevents the juice from running out. But sometimes you just can’t wait! I did this! I actually enjoyed it both ways, but it makes for a nicer presentation once firm. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this recipe. I used my new flaky gluten free pie crust recipe. For those who do not use my gluten free all-purpose flour recipe blend, you’ll be happy to know that superfine rice flour is not needed for the crust. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Peach Pie”

Flaky Gluten Free Pie Crust Recipe (Pâté Brisée)

Flaky Gluten Free Crust Filled with Beef

Many of my Facebook followers have requested that I develop a gluten free pie crust recipe that does not call for superfine rice flour. This one turned out flakier than any other pie crust on this site. I have used it to make mini gluten free chicken pot pies, regular size, as well as a gluten free peach pie. They all turned out delicious. You will find that refrigerating the dough once rolled makes transferring the rolled out dough to the pie much easier. I have included that tip as well as another for ease in transferring the dough. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this recipe for many of your savory and sweet gluten free pies.

Gluten Free Lemon Pie

This gluten free lemon pie is a bit different than lemon meringue pie, as it is a bit creamy – not much, just a tad. In addition, it still maintains a bright yellow color. You can use Greek yogurt, as I list below, or sour cream. Just make sure whichever you use is gluten free. Make additional filling if you are not going to top it with whipped cream or Cool Whip. You have your four choices of gluten free pie crust recipes, very flaky, or two more traditional crusts. Hopefully, you find one that calls for an ingredient you already have in your pantry. Enjoy!

Today is National Blueberry Pie Day! What better way to celebrate it than with a gluten free blueberry pie? You will find the link below to my gluten free double pie crust, which is pretty easy to handle compared to most gluten free pie dough. This makes transferring the crusts a breeze, especially in a double pie crust. If you’re pretty new to pie baking, consider  cutting out shapes and placing it on top, like in this Gluten Free Cherry Pie. I think I’d use smaller stars next time, though.

Instead of relying on commercially made graham crackers, you can whip up this gluten free graham cracker crust all in one step. Adding flax seed meal not only provides additional fiber and nutrition, but it makes this crust moist. The nutritional value is tri-fold: fiber, the same healing ingredient found in aloe vera, and omega 3s. Brown flax seeds are higher than the golden variety, but it’s all up to you which one you use. Perhaps you’ll find your favorite indulgence a little more guilt-free. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Graham Cracker Crust with Flax”

National Banana Cream Pie Day was a few days ago, and it got me thinking. Creating a gluten free banana cream pie recipe wasn’t high on my list of to-do’s, but I became intrigued, and that was that. Before you knew it, I was surveying my Facebook friends on what types of crust they would enjoy. The 2 highest voted for were graham cracker, graham cracker coated with chocolate, and regular coated with chocolate. Since I already had all of those Gluten Free Pie Crust Recipes on this website, I decided to go for a shortbread crust for my own. I include links to some of my gluten free pie crust recipes below, and even the chocolate ganache coating. You may garnish the pie with whipped cream, meringue, or leave plain. Perhaps some shredded coconut would do well for some people. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I hadn’t had a banana cream pie in decades and being a pastry cream lover, it’s hard to believe. It was truly wonderful! Continue reading “Gluten Free Banana Cream Pie with Several Crust Choices”
