Apple Pie With Short Bead Crust (Gluten Free/ Dairy Free/ Vegan/ Refined Sugar Free)

I have always enjoyed cooking and baking as long as I can remember. One of the things that I have never been much good at was a regular pie crust. So before finding out about my food allergies, I would either buy a pie crust or make a graham cracker crust. I am now going to have to attempt to make pie crusts. Well this time I just cheated and went for more of a shortbread crust and not a typical pie crust.
 I will attempt a regular gluten free pie crust at some point, but just not today…. 🙂
Everyone loved how this pie turned out…

  1. Always great to have these gluten free,dairy free and refined sugar free recipes at our Foodie Friends Friday party. It reminds me that I don’t need all these things to have a good recipe. Also I could never figure the recipe out without putting flour and sugar in it.. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday.
