Coconut Oil Pastry

Replace butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative that adds a subtle coconut flavor to your crust.

Chia Seed Egg Substitute

Use chia seeds soaked in water to create a gel-like consistency that binds ingredients together in place of eggs.

Applesauce Binding

Incorporate unsweetened applesauce as a natural binder that enhances moisture and sweetness in the filling.

Arrowroot Starch

Opt for arrowroot starch instead of traditional cornstarch or flour to thicken the apple filling without gluten.

Natural Sweeteners

Sweeten your pie with natural alternatives like maple syrup or honey for a healthier, refined sugar-free dessert.

Fresh Apple Varieties

Select fresh apple varieties like Granny Smith, Gala, or Honeycrisp for a balanced flavor profile in your gluten-free pie.
