Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp xanthan gum omit if your flour blend contains it
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
- 2 eggs
- 6 tbsp cold water
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- In a food processor, add flour, sugar, xanthan gum and salt. Pulse to combine. Add cold diced butter into food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, add egg, cold water and apple cider vinegar. Use a fork to beat the egg and mix. Pour egg mixture into food processor and pulse a few more times until dough is just moistened.
- Transfer the pie dough to a large bowl and use clean hands to shape it into a ball, slightly flattened. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.
- Remove chilled pie dough from the refrigerator and use a knife to cut the dough in half. Place half back in the refrigerator and transfer the other half of pie dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and add an additional piece of parchment paper on top. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a 12 inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the pie dough to your pie pan. Fill and bake as your pie recipe directs.
