Over 40 of the Best Gluten-Free Pie Crust Recipes!

This roundup of the best gluten-free pie crust recipes made its debut here on gfe last year, but I had to update it with a few more critical recipes this year. There are over 40 recipes here!

They run from super simple, no-roll press-in-the-pan crusts to simple grain-free pie crusts to fancy lattice pie crusts to alternative ingredient crusts, and, well, everything in between. There are “just gluten-free” recipes, dairy-fee recipes, egg-free recipes, paleo recipes, vegan recipes, and more. Whatever type of pie crust you need, it’s here!

While I’m a HUGE fan of crustless pies and encourage everyone to try them, we also need excellent recipes for when we absolutely need a pie crust. That time is now as the holidays are coming. Personally, I recommend doing some pie test runs. Happy gluten-free pie baking!

    Oh my goodness Shirley…all of these pie crusts look mouth watering delicious! I have always found gluten free pie crusts are much tastier than the gluten filled pie crusts – hands down! Great show case of some amazing pies! 🙂

      Ina–Thanks so much, dear! We have some amazing talent in our gluten-free community, don’t we? 🙂 I agree that gluten-free pie crusts–at least the homemade ones!—are awesome. I especially love the delicious non-standard ingredients that are often used in gluten-free pie crust recipes. 😉

      Hi Diana–Good to see you here at gfe again. 🙂 Thanks for introducing me to I Am Gluten Free and sharing your review of her pie crust. Cream cheese is definitely a magical ingredient in many baking recipes, so I am not surprised that such a recipe exists. FYI–Because of copyright laws, I simply can’t share others’ photos. I always need to seek and get permission before sharing, but thanks again for making me aware of this blog for possible inclusion in future roundups. 😉

    Stumbled and pinned this as I know people will want to see it! Is there a dairy-free one in the lot that you personally recommend for a “traditional” double crust pie Shirley? I really owe Tony something good 🙂

    Reply
    • Shirley says

      November 17, 2015 at 10:58 pm

      Thanks so much, Alisa!! The ones that I recommend for what you need would be Megan’s (shown here for an apple pie) Linda’s (Free Range Cookies), Lexie’s, and Jeanne’s. You might want to take a look at their recipes and see which ingredients you prefer to help you make that tough decision. 😉 Hope Tony enjoys his “something good”! 😉

    Wow Shirley – so many wonderful pies! I have always thought that GF pie crusts were always way better than a pie crust made with wheat. Any variation my family has tried has always been a winner!

      Thanks, Ina! How interesting! I do think that certain gf flours create better pie crusts and dough, in general. I’m happy that you’ve had such success!
