This recipe for Gluten Free Pie Crust is made with only five ingredients, and my husband says it tastes like cookies.
Better yet? It’s nut freeand dairy free.
Recipe for Gluten Free Pie Crust
In 2001 I went on a grain-free diet.
Then in 2009, I wrote The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook and have been referred to as the “Queen of Almond Flour” over the years.
Still, since I know nuts aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, I figured it was critical to create a pie crust recipe without almond flour.
Home Made Pie Crust Recipes
While I don’t have any dietary need that would lead me to create a nut-free pie crust for myself, I know just how many of you have nut allergies.
And so, this nut-free pie crust was born.
It’s really important to have a home made pie crust for everyone who needs it.
Recipe for Vegan Pie Crust
That’s why my Gluten Free Pie Crust is egg free too.
So many people suffer from egg allergies, and it’s so hard to find good recipes that are egg-free.

Easy No-Roll Pie Crust
The beauty of this Gluten Free Pie Crust is that it’s a press in pastry crust, also referred to as a no-roll pie crust.
Personally, I love rolling out my pie crust between two pieces of parchment paper, transferring it to the pie pan, and then patching as needed.
The photo above is of my older son making his own rolling pin when he was seven years old.
I still have it in our kitchen drawer!
But back to pie crusts –most people think a simple press in, no-roll crust is far easier to work with.
How to Blind Bake a Pie Crust
Are you wondering how to blind bake a pie crust?
Blind baking is quite simple, all it means is to bake the pie without the filling.
This technique is great if you want the crust to set and stay firm.
Pie Crust Blind Bake
If you’re using this crust to make my Paleo Pumpkin Pieblind bake it for 10 minutes, then bake it again along with the filling.
For my Vegan Pumpkin Pie and other no-bake custard fillings that firm in the refrigerator, bake this Gluten Free Pie Crust as directed above, until golden brown.
Let it cool and set for a couple of hours prior to filling it.
I often bake it the night before.
Low-Carb Pie Crust
This is not a low-carb pie crust.
It’s made with arrowroot flour which is composed entirely of carbohydrates.
My favorite low-carb pie crust is my Pie Crust with Almond Flour.
Made with almond flour and egg, it works very well for those in need of Keto Diet Healthy Recipes.
Buttery Pie Crust
My family finds this Gluten Free Pie Crust to be sweet and crunchy, while my Pie Crust with Almond Flour is a more buttery crust.
Flakey Pie Crust
My husband loves my Gluten Free Pie Crust recipe –it’s his favorite!
Flaky and sweet, it’s wonderful with both baked and refrigerated fillings. What will you fill it with?

Vegan and no-bake? It couldn’t be easier! I’m all about saving oven space on Thanksgiving and other holidays.
