GF Pie Crust

 This recipe makes 1 pie crust.  To make a 2 crust pie make two individual recipes as doubling the recipe can be tricky.  The original recipe calls for 1 egg yolk.  I used 2 egg yolks and all of the cold water/3 tbsp.

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups GF all purpose flour

pinch of salt

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

7 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

2 tablespoons cold cream cheese, cubed

1 egg yolk (I used 2)

2 -3 tablespoons cold water

Pulse together flour, salt and powdered sugar a few times in a food processor.

Add butter and cream cheese and pulse 6 or 7 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl.  Sprinkle over the flour mixture and pulse a few more times to combine.

Pour mixture into a bowl and press together to form a dough.  If the mixture seems too crumbly, add the remaining tablespoon of water.

Form the dough into a flattened disc, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes (or up to 3 days) before rolling out.  It can also be frozen for up to 4 weeks.

Roll and bake according to your recipe's directions.

This is a GF apple pie made for Ethan on the Labor Day Weekend 2024. Most of the apples were from a tree in Kuusamo but I picked  7 apples from the Lakehouse Apple Tree.
