Gluten Free Pie Crust Hack
It's that time of year when we are making pies for our loving families. But what do we do for our family members who can't eat gluten?
You could spend a fortune buying gluten free pie dough or pre-made pie shells. Or you could try my easy and cheap gluten free pie crust hack.
I bet you already have the ingredients you need.
Cheerio's!
Say What?
Yep. Cheerio's are made gluten free. All you have to do is use them in place of Graham cracker crumbs for any of your pie recipes. And you can use any kind of Cheerio's you have on hand. It's that easy. It's that cheap. It's that amazingly awesome!
In case you don't have a graham cracker crumb recipe here is mine with instructions of how to prep your Cheerios for your pie crust.
All you need is:
1 1/2 cup Cheerio crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter (1/2 a stick)
2 Tablespoons white sugar
Put the Cheerio's into your food processor or blender. Blend until a fine crumb is formed, about 30 seconds.
Measure out 1 1/2 cups Cheerio crumbs and put into your desired pan.
Mix in the melted butter until all the crumbs are coated.

Press along the edges of the pan.
Bake for 8 minutes at 350 degrees.
And that is it! You now have a gluten free pie crust that didn't break the bank!
