Pie (Pillsbury Crust)

When I made these we were also in the process of making applesauce, dehydrated apples, and pizza with the Pillsbury Crust. I made two types of pie, and then a plain crust, in hopes of making a pudding pie. However, the pudding we made didn't set right and stayed very soupy.

Ingredients
1 container Pillsbury Gluten Free Pie Crust
1 - 1 1/2 c sliced apples
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 Tbps sugar
1 Tbps gluten free all purpose flour (I used King Arthur Blend)
1 Tbps Nature Balance dairy free butter
1 20oz can no sugar added cherry pie filling

Directions
Preheat oven to 425° F.

Put the sliced apples in a medium bowl, add cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and flour and mix well. Feel free to add more or less cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar to taste. Once mixed, set aside.

Spray inside of pie dish with non-stick butter spray.

Open dough and slice in half. Place half back into the container, and cut the other half into quarters, if making individual pies. Warm each quarter individually as it is needed.

Roll out the warmed dough between two pieces of plastic wrap, as suggested on the container, to about 1/4" thick. (I used rolling pin rings that ensure that the dough only gets so thin.) Then peel the top piece of plastic wrap off, and carefully lay the crust into the pie dish with the second piece of plastic facing up. Without taking the plastic off gently press the crust into the pie tin/dish. Once the crust is fully pressed into the dish slowly pull off the plastic wrap. Gently pull off excess dough around edges of dish.

Fill unbaked pie crust with apples, cherries, or other fruit of your choice. The apples should be about twice as much as what looks to be needed, as they will shrink a lot during baking

Following the steps from above roll out slightly smaller pieces of dough to cover the top of each pie. Once placed, crimp edges together (I used a fork). Cut vent holes into the top of each pie.

Cover edges of pie with tin foil. To do this make strips of foil about 1 1/2" wide. For little pies each will need approximately two strips. Fold foil together where they meet so that it does not fall apart, the fold the foil lengthwise at a right angle so that it makes an L shape. Carefully, wrap the foil around the crust of the pie.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Remove tin foil, and bake another 10 minutes. Let cool.

ENJOY!
