Blog Post Comment❤️Thank you for sharing these tips and recipes! When I have to make one in a rush--I put a box of Enjoy Life soft baked cookies (gluten, dairy, egg, nut free) into a bag and smash them up...then I just press them into the pie plate! The snickerdoodles are great as a base for pumpkin pie!

Blog Post CommentTatimom, That is an excellent #SAFEHack! Thank you for sharing!

Blog Post CommentThat's a great idea Tatimom! Do you add melted margarine like a graham cracker crust?? Or are the soft cookies enough to hold together on their own??
-
Blog Post Comment❤️I've done it both ways--and I don't think the margarine adds much other than fat, hahaha!

Blog Post CommentIt's too late for Turkey Day, but for next month, what I found when I am making dough is to make it days ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge for a few days. Somehow it came out better that way.

Blog Post CommentMy gf dough has to sit in fridge at least a few hours. I just try to make it the night before. If I have all my sides done Wed, I can bake my pies Thurs. No one is coming for dinner, so I don't have to "entertain".

File Comment❤️@Kathy P that's what this one was! i was surprised how delicious it is, you can't even tell it's not a regular crust
-
File CommentWow -- I need to check out that crust to see if it's corn free. I'm always a bit worried that one day, DD will bring home a friend who is GF and I'll need to cook GF.

File Comment@K8sMom2002 there's no corn listed in the ingredients! the filling has cornstarch in it, but I'm sure you could find a recipe without
-
File CommentNow that is awesomesauce! Yes, no problem on swapping out the thickener for the pie filling -- potato starch or arrowroot flour work well in fruit fillings!
-
File CommentIn my experience: 1.5 tablespoons potato starch = 2 tablespoons cornstarch Arrowroot is more of a one-to-one substitute, but arrowroot doesn't work well with dairy products -- since you avoid dairy, that shouldn't be an issue.

File Comment@coutureee - here are some other substitutes for corn . I use different starches depending on what I'm doing. That link has the different options and substitution rates as well as where they work best or don't work well.
