Recipe type: Gluten Free
Yield: 8-10 Servings
Pie Crust Ingredients:
- 3 Cups Gluten Free Flour (I used Cup4Cup Pie Crust Mix)
- 1 Teaspoon Himalayan Sea Salt
- 2 TBSP Coconut Sugar
- 8 oz. Organic Grass Fed Butter – Room Temperature – cut into ½ inch pieces
- 1 Cup Cold Water
- ¼ Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Cup Ice
Pie Filling Ingredients:
- 6 Cups Sliced & Peeled Peaches – about 12-14
- 1 ½ TBSP Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1 ¼ Cup Coconut Sugar
- 1/3 cup Gluten Free Flour (Recommend Cassava or a GF All Purpose Mix)
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ Teaspoon Nutmeg
- Organic Egg Wash (1 egg mixed w/ 1 teaspoon water & pinch of salt)
Pie Crust Instructions:
- In a stand mixer such as a KitchenAid, add the flour, salt, sugar, and butter. Blend on low with the wire whisk until combined. Will be lumpy and dry.
- In a small bowl, combine the water, vinegar, and ice. *IMPORTANT: You will not use all of this!
- Change mixer attachment to hook attachment. Add 2 Tablespoons at a time of the liquid to the flour mixture. Check in between adding liquid for texture. I only used 4-6 TBSP’s of the liquid.
- Once the crust mixture forms into a ball – it should be ready. You want it sticking together but not tacky.
- Form into a disc and wrap in saran. Store in refrigerator while making the pie filling. Can refrigerate up to 2 days (or freeze 1 month).
Pie Filling & Assembly Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine peeled and sliced peaches (peeling takes the longest), lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Gently stir with large spoon until peaches are completely covered. Filling may have a lot of liquid – if that’s the case, add about ¼ cup – ½ cup more flour.
- Remove crust from refrigerator. Cut the disc in half. Lightly sprinkle flour on counter and roll out the first ½ of crust. Once having desired size rolled out (to fit your pie plate – I used a 9”), fold the crust and transfer to pie plate. Then unfold and form to pie plate. Trim edges but leave some for crimping.
- With a slotted spoon, scoop the peach mixture into the pie crust. Do not use all of the liquid (the peaches give off a lot of water and make the mixture too wet). Discard remaining liquid.
- Roll out the 2nd half of crust. 2 options – Slice long ways and do lattice design or use the entire solid crust to place on top.
- Once crust is formed and crimped, use a basting brush to lightly add the egg wash. Lightly coat crust and discard remaining egg wash. Optional: Sprinkle entire crust with coconut sugar.
- Place pie on cookie sheet and transfer to oven.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 and bake another 30 minutes. (try not to open oven during temperature change).
- Remove from oven and let completely cool before slicing and serving.
- Optional: Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream or coconut vanilla ice cream.
