This is the recipe I used for our apple pie. I used a stick of butter from our freezer and cut it up. First I mixed all the dry ingredients in my food processor, then dropped the butter slices in and pulse it until it was mealy in texture. Then, I added a tablespoon of ice water from our fridge until it came together in a ball, wrapped it and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes. It rolled out nicely.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick of cold butter
4 to 5 tablespoons cold water

I used this for the top crust since DH had purchased a frozen pie crust in its aluminum foil pan.

Occasionally I have sprinkled flour across inside bottom crust so as not to have a soggy bottom crust.

Joyce D: I haven't ever made a gluten free pie crust but here is a recipe for one.
