Not only will you find a gluten-free pie crust recipe and a gluten-free maple pecan pie recipe on this page, but you will also find demo videos that I create many years ago. I hope that you find them useful!

Gluten-Free Maple Pecan Pie Recipe

gluten-free pie crust dough (see recipe below)
3 cups pecan halves
2 eggs
1 cup maple syrup
4 tbsp tapioca starch

• Preheat oven to 375oF.
• Press pie crust dough into a pie plate.
• Arrange the pecan halves over the pastry.
• Beat together the eggs, maple syrup, and tapioca starch. Spoon mixture over the pecan halves.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.

Gluten-Free Pie Crust Recipe

1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup arrowroot (or tapioca or potato) starch
1 tsp guar gum
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
water, if necessary

• Place rice flour, arrowroot starch, guar gum, and butter in a food processor and blend well.
  • Beat together the egg and vanilla. Add into the food processor ingredients and blend until the dough leaves the side and forms a ball (add water, one teaspoon at a time if extra moisture is necessary or rice flour, 1 tbsp at a time, if the dough is too moist).
• Press dough into pie plate, flan pan, or springform pan. If making tarts, press dough into muffin tins or mini-muffin tins.
• Note that this pie crust cannot be rolled flat and therefore is not useful for a top crust. You can, however, flatten some dough, cut out shapes, and decorate the tops of pies with them.
• If you need a baked crust bake it in a 350oF oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully and poke holes if the dough starts to bubble.
