I hope you are enjoying the gorgeous weather and the beautiful colors of autumn. One of the gifts that this season brings is the arrival of fresh local apples. Perfect on its own or in crumble, pies, chutneys or cider, apples just sparkle with flavor and goodness. Since it stated raining this week I decided to make a scrumptious apple crumble pie. It’s so amazingly delicious with classic flavors of fall.
Pie
Torta Rustica
Despite my love for baking I am not into making pies from scratch and I have never made a gluten free pie. I wanted to make one after I saw a pie demonstration by Chef Ian Lai, which made me salivate as I watched him make it during a roof top garden cookout. I can’t describe the flavor but the pie looked amazingly flaky. Everyone in the class oohed and ahhed about the savory filling and talked how tender, light and crisp the pie was. They enjoyed every morsel except me. My interest was piqued and I thought I need to conquer my fear of making a gluten free pie crust. I came home pulled up my sleeves, took out my rolling pin and set out to make pie crust.
