    Gluten Free Patriotic Berry Pie

    Yields: 6 Servings

    how to make gluten free patriotic berry pie

    Ingredients for Crust

    1 ¼ cup gluten free flour blend
    1 tablespoon sugar
    ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend contains it)
    ¼ salt
    ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
    1 egg
    3 tablespoons cold water
    ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

    Ingredients for Pie Filling

    cups strawberries
    2 cups blueberries
    ¾ cup sugar
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    ½ cup water

    Ingredients for Whipped Cream

    1 cup heavy whipping cream
    3 tablespoons powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    Directions

    In a food processor, add flour, sugar, xanthan gum and salt. Pulse to combine. Add cold diced butter into food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    In a small bowl, add egg, cold water and apple cider vinegar. Use a fork to beat the egg and mix together. Pour the egg mixture into a food processor and pulse a few more times until the dough is just moistened.

    Transfer the pie dough to a glass bowl and use clean hands to shape it into a ball, slightly flattened. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.
    pie fillingWhile the dough is chilling, add 1 cup of the strawberries to the food processor and puree. You may also use a fork to mash it thoroughly.

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, water and strawberry puree. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for an 3 additional minutes, until the strawberry mixture begins to thicken and turn translucent. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
    how to make pie crustRemove chilled pie dough from refrigerator and place on counter for about 15 minutes. Transfer pie dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and add an additional piece of parchment paper on top. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a 12 inch circle.
    Transfer the dough to an ungreased pie pan and press it into place – flattening the crust against the bottom and sides as well as touching up any cracks. Trim off any excess crust and crimp or flute the edges.

    Cover the pie shell with a double layer of aluminum foil (including the edges) to prevent it from burning. Fill the pie with pie weights and blind bake at 375 degrees for about 25-28 minutes.

    Remove the pie weights and the foil and continue to bake until the crust comes to a golden brown color for about an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool for a minimum of 1 hour before adding the filling.
    berry pieWhile the crust cools, hull strawberries and slice in halves or fourths depending on the size and place it in a large bowl with the fresh blueberries.

    Add the prepared strawberry glaze and carefully fold with a spatula until the berries are evenly coated. Fill the cooled pie crust with the berry filling, being sure to turn any cut sides to face down. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours until the pie has set.

Start mixing on low speed and then high speed until the cream is smooth, thick and has doubled in volume. Add the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a large star pastry tip and pipe onto pie. (Note: fresh whipped cream is best used within 5 hours).

    Store pie and whipped cream in the fridge until ready to serve.
