Frozen Pie Shell!

[notme]

so, i'm moseying along in the kroger, always snooping in the 'freak' frozen section (lolz) and what do i see??

 

gluten-free frozen pie shells!!  just in time for thanksgiving!!  W00T!  they are 'wholly wholesome' brand and come 2 to a package (i guess you can 'unmold' the 2nd one to make a 2 crust pie)  but perfect for punkin pie.  and they are basically allergy free  <even corn!)  so, to make the holidays a little less hectic, hopefully they don't taste like cardboard!  (shoot, they're even kosher, wow - they've got all their bases covered lolz)

 

i'm gonna give them a try sometime this week

I saw these too! Cannot wait to hear how they taste.

They are pretty good, IMO. A bit brittle, so be careful when maneuvering!

Last year I used Gluten Free Nation pie shells (Houston based bakery that sells in groceries around here) and they turned out well for my pumpkin and pecan pies.  This year I really want to do a lattice top apple pie for Thanksgiving so I just tested out this crust recipe: Open Original Shared Link and it works fabulously.  The dough handles well, and the best thing about gluten-free pie dough is you don't have to worry about overworking it.  Really was my first time ever making pie crust from scratch.  Definitely going to do that this year for the holidays since it will cost a lot less than buying all those other pie shells.

Oooh, kosher! I have to watch out for lard in pie shells, so thanks for the heads up. I'll look for it if we ever get over to Kroger's.

yes, vegan, too, ruth

Sounds good! I'm not vegan, but my diet is similar enough to that (ovo vegetarian) that I end up eating lots of stuff marketed to vegans.

I've tried the wholly wholesome pie crusts and thought they were delicious!  I just bought another package for the Thanksgiving pumpkin pie next week.
