GF Pie Crust

By MaryEllen

If you’re looking for a good gluten-free crust for other pies, the crust in this recipe is a great option.

Ingredients

• For the crust
• 1 1⁄2 cup rolled oats
• 1⁄4 cup sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 tablespoons (3⁄4 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

For the crust:
Preheat the oven to 350°.

Combine the oats, sesame seeds, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to crush the oats. (Do not pulse to a fine dust; the crumbs will have small pieces remaining.)
Add the melted butter and pulse until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Press the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form the crust. Freeze or refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.

Place the pie pan on a rimmed baking sheet on the center rack in the oven to bake just until golden brown, 15–20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
