Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour or any multi-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 7 Tablespoons cold butter for vegan, use Crisco
  • 4-6 Tablespoons cold water put an ice cube in the water while preparing the ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • By hand, whisk together flour, sugar and salt.
  • Add in the cold butter (or Crisco) in small pieces.
  • Using a pastry cutter, mix until well combined. It will be dry and crumbly.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and a couple of tablespoons of cold water.
  • Blend until the dough comes together, adding more water—1 tablespoon at a time—as needed.
  • The dough should not be sticky and should hold together when pressed.
  • Do not roll out the dough. Instead, press the dough into the pie plate, working it slowly up the sides of the plate.
  • Place the pie plate in the refrigerator until ready to use. If you are not using it within an hour, cover it with plastic wrap to hold in the moisture.
  • Follow the instructions on your pie recipe for baking temperatures and time.

For Pies That Are Unbaked (i.e., cream pies)

  • If you need to pre-bake the crust for chilled pies (think Lemon Meringue Pie), prick the bottom of crust with a fork and place pie crust in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
  • When baking an empty pie crust, fill it with pie weights or dry beans to prevent shrinkage and bake the pie crust at 375°F degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
