Nutty Pie Crust. Not too long ago. I bought a pie from a close-by farm made from fresh fruits grown there. After returning home, I baked the pie. Furthermore, I love the aroma of freshly baked goods especially with a crispy crust and juicy center. Not only that, my son loves the fruity center which he focused on. Therefore, I bought a pie mold that I was very excited to attempt homemade pies.

Tips to Make Nutty Pie
In addition, it is important to purchase a food scale to weigh gluten-free flour to prevent adding too much to the recipe. Also, apple types can make a difference for example to retain shape. Therefore, some apples can get extra mushy after being cooked or too soft. Moreover, Granny Smith and Red Delicious are some of the ones that stay in shape.
Do try this delicious pie. If you enjoy homemade bake goods do try gluten-free buns. I would love to try new recipes like gluten-free chia muffin.
