This Gluten Free Pecan Pie is a favourite at potlucks and family holiday celebrations. People don't even know it's gluten free unless I tell them! It's right up there with my Gluten Free Butter Tarts.

Gluten Free Pecan Pie

I was honoured to be asked to make some gluten free pies for a friend's wedding last weekend. I made this Pecan Pie, Apple Pie and a strawberry rhubarb one. It was not just the gluten-free-only people who enjoyed them! The pecan pie was the first one to be cleaned up.

Ingredients are all set for baking!

This pie is made extra special with pure maple syrup and unrefined organic raw sugar. There's no corn syrup in here! The crust is delightfully flakey.

As the pie cooks, the pecans float to the top, leaving a delightful, sweet custard between them and the crust.

What a treat it is!

Yes, there's more sugar in here than I usually eat. Keep in mind that this is a treat for special occasions. Enjoy it in small pieces once in awhile.

Special Ingredients for Gluten Free Pecan Pie

The Best Gluten Free Pie Crust

One of the things that truly sets this pie apart from other gluten free pies is the special gluten free crust. It's important to use the Best Gluten Free Pie Crust. The recipe will make enough for five single pie crusts. If you don't plan to use all of the dough right away, it will freeze well. Simply divide it into five equal balls and wrap them. Freeze any that you won't be using in two or three days, and keep the rest in the refrigerator.

Form a collar of aluminum foil and wrap it around the edge of the pie for the first 25 minutes of baking to prevent the crust from overbrowning.
