Pie Crust

 Faith and I have been doing a unit on apples, so we've done all sorts of things with apples including making applesauce and apple pie.  (And for the last couple of weeks organic red delicious apples were on sale!  .49/lb one week and .88/lb the next.)  I made apple pie with a gluten free crust and it was very yummy, so I thought I would share.



Pie Crust

1 cup coconut oil
1 cup oat flour
1 cup arrowroot powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup ice cold water

Use a fork to mix coconut oil, salt, oat flour and arrowroot powder until it is crumbly.  Mix in just enough water to form a ball.  Use extra oat flour and arrowroot powder to roll out 2 pie crusts.  It helps to roll out the dough on a baking mat and use it to help transfer the crust to the pie plate.


 It passed the taste test for one my little gluten eaters!

For the applesauce, we peeled and sliced apples.  Then threw them in the crockpot w/ a splash of lemon juice, some cinnamon and some stevia if needed.  Let it cook on high until you can mash them with a spoon.
