Cook:
Total:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the gluten-free flour, salt, and xanthan gum by hand.
- Blend in the chilled coconut oil, mixing with a fork until it forms crumbs.
- Add the egg and continue mixing.
- Slowly pour in the ice-cold water a little at a time, incorporating the water into the dough before adding more. You want to create a mixture that isn't too wet or too crumbly.
- Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.
- In the meantime, mix the pumpkin, maple, and vanilla in a large bowl.
- Whisk in the egg, followed by the egg whites, and incorporate into the custard.
- Mix in the almond milk, pie spice, and TrueFit.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a circle that is 2 inches wider than your pie pan.
- Gently place the dough in the pie pan and crimp the edges to create a decorative crust.
- Pour in the filling and bake for 40 minutes or until the center is firm.
- Note: Omit xanthan gum if the gluten-free flour contains it
