ALMOND PIE CRUST

My Grandmother-In-Law gave me this recipe because so many of our family have celiac disease or are allergic to wheat. I love it so much, that I now use it for all of my pies. If you don't like almonds, you can use any other nuts instead

GLUTEN-FREE SPICED PUMPKIN PIE



Gluten-Free Spiced Pumpkin Pie image

Pumpkin puree works as the go-to here, but if craving something different, try a winter squash puree. For the gluten-averse, this pie features a rich, rice-cereal crust. Blind-baking it before filling keeps it crisp. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 810.

Time 10m

Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups gluten-free rice-square cereal, such as Rice Chex
1/2 cup sliced raw almonds
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Pulse cereal and almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter, sugar, and salt; pulse until combined. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • For a truly crispy crust, make sure the rice is cooked until it is slightly browned and crispy.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the rice in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
  • Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pie plate to prevent it from cracking.
  • If you are using a store-bought pie filling, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the crust.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to prevent the crust from burning.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This crisp rice almond pie crust is a delicious and easy-to-make alternative to traditional pie crusts. It is perfect for both sweet and savory pies, and can be made ahead of time. With its nutty flavor and crispy texture, this crust is sure to impress your friends and family.
