Wait too long to pick up a ready-made pie crust? It's super easy to make yourself!
This recipe makes enough for 2 6-inch pie crusts.
You'll need:
- 1 cup GF all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 6 tbsp cold butter, diced into small cubes
- 1-2 tbsp cold water
- Mini food processor (optional, but recommended)
Directions:
- Add 1 cup of GF flour, 1 tbsp of sugar, and 6 tbsp of diced cold butter to your food processor. Pulse in small bursts until well combined. It probably won't look much like a dough at this point.
- Add 1 tbsp of water and continue to pulse in small bursts to form the dough. Add another tbsp of water if needed.
- Roll out your dough on a floured surface. Then fold in the sides of the dough and roll it out again. This will create flaky layers in your dough.
- Cut your dough to size. Press the pie crust into your dish.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Optional: Add pie weights like uncooked rice or beans on top of the crust to keep it from bubbling up, but for small pies it is not 100% necessary.
- Remove from oven & fill with your desired pie filling (I used apple). Top with the other crust if desired (I used a crumble topping instead) and bake to your fillings specifications (for apple: at 400 degrees for 30 minutes)
Refrigerate pie crusts up to 1 week. Happy baking!
