Prep is the key to a smooth Thanksgiving. Save yourself some time and stress by making two batches of this gluten free pie crust this weekend. The recipe will make two crusts and can be made gluten free with Cup4Cup or with traditional flour. I just ordered some of this great all-purpose gluten free flour on Amazon Prime and it came the next day!
This recipe is so easy and made for a food processor. It’s amazing the amount of use mine gets. It’s on sale with free shipping at Williams-Sonoma today through using code ELECTRICS and would make a great gift.

These crusts can be refrigerated for 4-6 weeks and frozen for up to 6 months, so if you are feeling really crazy make them for Christmas, too. This crust is great wrapped around a brie topped with your favorite jam. An appetizer in minutes!
When you are ready to use:
Remove from plastic wrap and roll out on to well floured pastry board.
Roll out in to a 10 inch circle.
Transfer to a parchment paper lines baking sheet for a Galette or pie plate and fill. You can also make this Apple Galette a day ahead and reheat or serve room temperature.
- 2 c of Cup4Cup
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 2 sticks very cold butter (diced right before use)

- Take the butter from the refrigerator and quickly dice it.
- Place the butter cubes in the food processor and toss to coat with the flour mixture being careful with the sharp blades on the bottom.
