Here are the results. Both homemade crust both the same berry recipe. And look!! UGGHHH I give up lol

I was such a good cook and baker before gluten free. Now I feel like a 5 year old in the kitchen. Everything I thought I knew is now different. LOL one day I will get it. The worst part about it all is I agreed to go on the diet for moral support (and its easier to have a dedicated gluten free house) but I so want a bite of the regular pie lol
Second pie might be good,sprinkled with sugar before baking, cut smaller, and having, vanilla yogurt, ice cream, sweet cream, or?, over it. Mmmmmmm. Gluten free is just a little different. You can make it work.
