Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup solid, all vegetable non-hydrogenated shortening
  • 6-8 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 cups all-purpose gluten free flour blend
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons organic sugar

Directions:

  1. Combine the flour blend, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 5-6 times to combine. Add the shortening and pulse 6-8 times or until the mixture resembles very coarse sand.
  2. With processor running, add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture just starts to come together. If you pinch some of the crumbly dough together and it holds then you have enough water, if not add more a little at a time.
  3. Remove the dough from the machine and form into a disk. Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour or for as long as 2 -3 days. Remove dough from fridge 5 minutes before rolling.
  4. Filling:

    • 8 large, ripe but firm peaches (3 1/2 pounds)
    • 3/4-cup raw sugar
    • ¼ tsp. salt
    • ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
    • 1/4-cup cornstarch

    Directions:

    1. Peel peaches.
    2. Mix sliced peaches with cornstarch, sugar, salt, and lemon juice.
    3. Fill crust with peach mixture.
    4. Top with lattice strips of pie crust.
    5. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-45 minutes, or until crust is golden. Allow pie to cool before slicing.
