A Note From My Kitchen
I’ve been baking gluten-free pies for over 15 years, and during that time I’ve tested dozens of pie crust recipes, from classic flaky crusts to some more unconventional options like hash brown or macaroon crusts. While not every recipe in this roundup is my own, I’ve handpicked each one for its reliability, flavor, and adaptability.
I also share the gluten-free pie crust recipe I personally use every time, along with my troubleshooting guide to help you avoid common pitfalls. Whether you’re new to pie baking or looking to level up your gluten-free game, I hope this collection makes it easier and more fun to bake a pie you love.
What is the best gluten-free flour blend for pie?
I have tested numerous gluten-free flour blends over the past decade. In the early days, there was no such thing as a store-bought gluten-free flour blend. Now, we have a variety of flour blend choices, some of which are better than others.
Many gluten-free flour blends work well to make pie. I haven’t tested them all, but these are my favorites. I found Cup4Cup (the old version with dried milk powder) is the best for a perfectly flaky, golden crust. If you are dairy-free, the other gluten-free flour blends also work well. King Arthur Measure for Measure, Better Batter, Jules GF, Namaste, and Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 also work well.
Of Special Note About Gluten-Free Flour Blends;
One important thing to note is that every flour blend has different moisture requirements. It is normal to have to tweak a recipe by adding a little more flour or moisture to the pie dough. You can read more about Why Gluten-Free Flour Blends Vary to learn more.
To read more about the different flour blends, read my Guide to Gluten-Free Flour Blends. I also have a lot of Gluten-Free Baking Tips to help you bake better.
My DIY Gluten-Free Flour Blends For Pie Crust:
I recently created a new blend and tested it in my popular pie crust recipe. This Gluten-Free Pastry and Cake Flour is a bit lighter, and it gives you all the flaky layers. This flour blend is the star of my Gluten-Free Rough Puff Pastry Dough.
My All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend. It is gum-free and uses psyllium husk powder as a binder. It works in so many of my recipes. Since gluten-free flour doesn’t have that same “glue” as wheat flour, binders are important. For more information, you can read about Binders in Gluten-Free Baking.
Gluten-Free Pie FAQ:
Crusts can easily dry in the oven if you don’t use enough moisture. I like to use a lot of butter for increased moisture. Is your pie crust holding together when you roll it, or are crumbles breaking off?
If you have bits breaking off, it is a good sign that you don’t have enough moisture in your pie crust dough.
If you prefer a flaky pie crust, use a generous amount of butter or shortening. Cut it in with a pastry blender so your flour mix looks like it has tiny pebbles of butter. Those little butter pebbles will add flaky layers.
A soggy crust can be common in gluten-free baking. Before adding the filling, you want to pre-bake your gluten-free crust for a few minutes. If you are still getting a soggy pie crust, you have too much moisture in your filling.
When we need to take a pie to a friend’s house for a celebration, I like to use a special pie container to transport my pie. This keeps the pie safe and prevents the crust from breaking.
A pie should keep fresh for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
It is very easy to freeze a pie. Wrap the pie in plastic wrap. If it fits in a freezer-style bag, that is preferable. If not, wrap the plastic-wrapped pie with foil. It should keep fresh for up to three months in the freezer.

Pie wouldn’t be a pie without the crust. The crust is the most important part of your gluten-free pie recipe. You could make a gluten-free pie without the crust, but why would you want to?
Your pie crust can be made from various flours, including your standard gluten-free flour blend, as well as almond flour and coconut flour. Here are many ideas to experiment with to see what works best for you.

After extensive recipe testing, this easy Gluten-Free Pie Crust is hands down the best pie crust recipe. It has the flakiest of crusts! (It also has a video to walk you through every step of making the recipe.) If you are making a galette, try my Gluten Free Galette Dough
Pie Crust Recipes With Coconut Flour:
Coconut flour is perfect for making a gluten-free or paleo pie crust. One thing to watch for is coconut flour absorbs a LOT of moisture, so you will notice that the wet ingredient quantities are much larger in these coconut flour pie crust recipes.
My favorite coconut flours are Anthony’s Organic Coconut Flour and Nutiva Organic Coconut Flour.
- Low-Carb Coconut Flour Pie Crust
- Coconut Flour Pie Crust
Pie Crust Recipes With Almond Flour:
Almond flour is a versatile ingredient that many people on a paleo diet enjoy. I love this because the almond flour in the pie crust adds a protein boost that helps balance the sugar in the pie.
I use primarily Anthony’s Premium Blanched Almond Flour and Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour.

Galettes are easy to make on a cookie sheet! Place your rolled-out pie crust dough on a cookie sheet, top it with fruit or your favorite pie filling, and fold the edges of the pie crust up around the filling.

Tart Recipes:
Gluten-free tarts can come in all shapes and sizes. You can create a long tart with a rectangular tart pan and slice it into pieces, or you can make a big round tart. These mini tart pans are also fun.
The most important feature to look for when buying a tart pan is that the bottom comes out. This makes it so easy to remove the tart from the baking pan!

I truly hope you enjoy this recipe. I have been testing and creating gluten-free recipes for over 15 years. Creating gluten-free recipes that do not taste gluten-free is my goal for every recipe. Sometimes I only have to test a new recipe a couple of times, and others it takes multiple times. I do this so you get reliable, delicious results every time!
I am also vegan . Do any of your pie crust recipes include vegan and gluten free healthy bakers ? ?
Hi Frieda, Healthy yes, but I don’t think any of the recipes featured are vegan.
Do you have a print file for sale for this 50 Gluten Free Pie Recipes booklet that can be emailed?
thank you
Hi Pamela, Unfortunately, I don’t have this in booklet format.
Your recipes look amazing. I am looking for a Mince meat pie recipe. Do you have one? 😊
Hi Catherine, I am sorry I don’t have a recipe for this. I can try to create one for next year Thanksgiving time if you like.
Do You have a delicious recipe for baking crusts for a Tourtiere Pie
Quebecois ( Canada) or French – France. Different meats and ingredient for filling is used in different regions. Cheers, Rosemary. I hope to try to learn how to make delicious Gluten free pastry for a Tourtiere Pie.
Hi Rosemary, I haven’t made that pie, but my gluten-free pie crust recipe would definitely hold up to that kind of hearty filling. You would need to double the recipe to have both a top and bottom crust. https://www.fearlessdining.com/how-to-make-a-simple-gluten-free-pie-crust/
I’am looking for a Pie receipe that was featured several years ago in a Thanksgiving issue, and it had Pumpkin seeds, some kind of nuts, and maybe cranberries, if anyone knows of this receipe please forward it on to me. I made this pie at the time and now I,am unable to locate the magazine it was in, and my Granddaughter would like to have it again this Thanksgiving.
Hi Joan, I am not sure I know which recipe this is. If it were in a magazine, there may not be an online version.
This is a fantastic resource! Definitely sharing with my gluten-free friends!
Thank you so much Dee :-).
