Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups gluten-free flour blend
• ½ cup almond flour
• ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 4-6 tablespoons ice water

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork or your hands after each addition. Continue adding water until the dough comes together and can be easily formed into a ball.
4. Divide the dough in half and flatten each half into a disk. Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. Remove one of the dough disks from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
7. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
8. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim any excess dough.
9. Fill the pie crust with your desired filling, such as apple pie filling or quiche ingredients.
10. Repeat the rolling and filling process with the second dough disk if making a double-crust pie.
11. Bake the pie according to your specific recipe instructions, usually for about 45-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
12. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
