    This gluten free pie crust recipe is really easy to make. I walk you through the steps of how to make the best gluten free pie crust. It is simple to make in the food processor and to roll out between parchment paper or hand press into your pan.

    I love pies, but I'm not always a fan of making my own pie crust. However, this pie crust is very easy to make and then I decide if I want to press the crust into a 9x13 pan or roll it out between parchment paper for a 9 inch pie plate.

    Why is my gluten free pie crust crumbly?

    If your pie crust is too crumbly to work with you didn't add enough water. Place the dough back into the food processor and add a tablespoon or two more of water. There should be a dough ball in your food processor when you've added enough water.

    If the pie crust is sticking to your hands rub some gluten free flour onto the dough ball and your hands.

    Can gluten free pie crust be frozen?

    Yes! You can make the dough ahead of time and freeze it. You can either place the dough into a sealed container or you can roll the dough out and place it in your pie plates and freeze the dough in the pie plate.

    Take the dough or pie plates our and let them thaw completely before using them. I would suggest taking them out and placing them in the fridge the day before you need them.

    Description

    This gluten free pie crust recipe is really easy to make. I walk you through the steps of how to make the best gluten free pie crust. It is simple to make in the food processor and to roll out between parchment paper or hand press into your pan.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    2 cups Gluten Free Flour
    ½ cup Unsalted Butter, cubed
    1 large Egg
    6-8 tablespoon Water
    ½ tsp. Sea Salt
    2 tsp. Granulated Sugar


    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

    In your 6 or 8 cup food processor place the flour, cubed butter, egg, sea salt and sugar. Run the food processor on high until a crumbly mixture forms.

    Add the water 2 tablespoons at a time while the food processor is running on low until a dough ball forms. If you add too much water and the dough is sticky add a couple of tablespoons of gluten free flour.

    If you are using a 9x13 pan place the dough into the greased pan and press out evenly with your hands. If you want two 9 inch pie crusts, divide the dough and roll each disc out between two sheets of parchment paper. Prick the dough with a fork and place pie beads or beans onto the pie crust to keep it from rising.

    Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. The pie crust will be lightly browned. Let the crust cool slightly before placing your pie ingredients in and cooking according to the pie recipe's directions.

        Hi Donna. I use King Arthur Flour Measure 4 Measure Gluten Free Flour the most often, but I also like Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour too. Either flour brands have always worked well for me in recipes. ~Elaine
