How to make the Best GF Peach Pie
For the crust: (we need 2 pie crusts, one for the crust and one for the lattice)
Food processor: Place gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Add the diced cold butter and process until crumbs form. Add the water and process until just beginning to clump.
Take the dough out and, using your hands, shape it into a ball. We need to divide it into two doughs, one for the crust and one for the lattice. Flatten into a thick disc, cover, and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
By hand: mix all the ingredients in a bowl and integrate the butter with your hands or a dough cutter. Add the water and mix until just beginning to clump.
For the filling:
Place the peeled and chopped peaches, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix well and let rest in the refrigerator while preparing the crust.
Assemble the pie:
Take one dough from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Roll out one of the doughs on a lightly floured (GF flour) counter and then transfer to a lightly greased round baking dish.
Pour the filling into the baking dish and place the blueberries and the sliced butter.
Roll out the second dough on a lightly floured work surface (gluten-free flour) and with a knife, pastry wheel, or similar, cut strips of dough.
Place the strips over the filling, interlacing them with each other.
To a neat rim, fold the bottom pie dough edges back over and press into the lattice edges. Trim off any excess dough from the edges.
Bake the pie for 45 minutes or until cooked and the lattice and edges are golden brown.
Let the pie rest for between 3 and 4 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream if desired.
Storing
Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can I freeze the pie?
Yes, you can freeze the pie for up to 2 months, wrapped tightly in plastic and foil. When you are ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Can I prepare this pie ahead of time?
You can make the 2 pie doughs in advance, and then make the filling and assemble the pie when desired. Or bake it and store it covered at room temperature.
Variations and serving options
- Fruit: Skip the blueberries and make a classic gluten-free peach pie.
- Spiced Pie: Add ginger, nutmeg, or cardamom, with cinnamon for a strong pie flavor.
- Dried fruits: add chopped, toasted almonds, pecans, or walnuts to the filling for crunchiness.
- Serving options: serve the pie warm with whipped cream or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
