Classic Gluten-free Pies

All of these classic pie recipes can be made gluten-free. They’ll be right at home on any holiday dessert table!

  • Apple Pie: This classic apple pie is made with a flakey gluten-free crust, and it’s stuffed to the brim with sweetened, spiced apples. I just love the way this pie smells when it’s baking up in the oven!
  • Pumpkin Pie: Thanksgiving isn’t complete without a pumpkin pie, so this gluten-free Chex pie crust really saves the day. Now no one has to miss out on the best pie ever!
  • Key Lime Pie: I made this pie with a gluten-free Cinnamon chex crust that is very similar to a graham cracker crust. Plus it’s packed with the signature zesty lime flavor I crave!
  • Pecan Pie: There’s something about the combo of that gooey, sweet filling with the crunchy pecans on top that satisfies every pie lover. Making this pecan pie gluten-free is so simple, and it can be made dairy-free too.
  • Dutch Apple Pie: Sometimes apple pie is just better with a sweet, crumbly topping. The texture bakes up perfectly with the apple filling!
  • Coconut Cream Pie: Thinking about this pie just makes my mouth water! The coconut macaroon crust is scrumptious, the vanilla coconut custard is to die for, and the whipped topping is the perfect finish. I always add toasted coconut on top too for a little more texture.

Gluten-free Pie Crusts

There are plenty of homemade pie crusts without gluten in them to kick off your favorite gluten-free pie recipes!

  • Gluten-free Pie Crust: I use a gluten-free 1:1 flour to make this gluten-free crust, and it comes out as perfectly flaky and tender as any fresh pie crust should! There are dairy-free and vegan substitutions too.
  • Graham Cracker Crust: Gluten-free graham crackers, butter, and sugar are all you need to make this pie and dessert crust. This can also be made dairy-free.
  • Almond Flour Pie Crust: It only takes 6 ingredients to make this gluten-free pie crust with almond flour. The flavor is really simple, so it pairs well with any type of pie!

Gluten-free Cobbler, Crisp, and Pie Recipes

Go beyond the traditional pies with these gluten-free cobbler recipes, fruit-filled crisps, and other fun dessert ideas.

  • Blueberry Cobbler: My favorite thing about this gluten-free cobbler recipe is the buttery biscuit topping, plus the sweet blueberry filling is just scrumptious!
  • Peach Cobbler: A delicious, cinnamon peach filling is baked with a cakey topping that all comes together into the most amazing bite.
  • Crustless Pumpkin Pie: The easiest way to make a pie gluten-free is to skip the crust entirely. This recipe is solely about the creamy spiced pumpkin pie filling, and it’s so delicious!
  • Pumpkin Pie Bars: Turning pumpkin pie into these gluten-free pie bars just makes it even easier to share! A sheet pan of pie can feed a crowd better than a traditional pie, so I love this recipe for parties and potlucks.
  • Apple Crisp: The buttery, crumbly oat topping is my favorite part of this gluten-free apple crisp. It’s much quicker to prepare than a pie, so it’s perfect for last-minute dessert plans!
  • Peach Crisp: Juicy, caramelized peaches and a cinnamon oat crumble topping makes a beautiful pairing. I love serving up this gluten-free dessert when peaches are in season!

So many gluten-free pies to fill the holiday season, and I can’t wait to make them all again for friends and family.
