You could also try a mix of lard and vegetable-based shortening if the results are not to your liking. Good luck and enjoy your pie!

Am going to try the pie crust tomorrow. Picking apples all day, and ready to make my first and long wished for gluten free apple pie. We're dairy and gluten free. Do you think Lard would be a substitute for butter? Thanks again, Grace Thanks for sharing.

I haven't used Earth Balance much in my baking, so I can't make any promises, but I hope it works out wonderfully for you! Alicia, I haven’t tried the recipe with Earth Balance, but it should work.

I too, am allergic to butter, so I was thinking to use Earth Balance, a butter substitute. What do you think? Ive tried some bad GF pie crusts in the past and finally just accepted I would not be having pie any longer. This last fall, I went to a GF cooking class and got a pretty good recipe. But am always open for the "perfect" one. Can't wait to try it. Please let me know what you think about substituting the butter for "Earth Balance".....

I've been playing a lot with almond-free pie crust recipes but nothing has measured up. When I have one, I will definitely post! Marsha, for the millet I would use brown rice flour. Soy is trickier, as it is high fat and has a quite distinct flavour. Many tend to avoid garbonzo/fava/soy flour because of the flavour, so there are a lot of recipes without it (like mine).

I'm very allergic to millet. I went Anaphylactic the last I had it. I also have a soy allergy so that flour is out for me too. Do you have some other flour that would be a good substitution? Thanks bunches :) I also have a substitution question. I’m very allergic to millet. I went Anaphylactic the last I had it. I also have a soy allergy so that flour is out for me too.

Every Thanksgiving, the desserts roll out and my gluten free self and my vegan partner are left with empty plates. This year, I was determined to change that. This crust was easy to make vegan (simply using Earth Balance vegan buttery sticks to replace the butter). I made every mistake a first time pie crust maker could possibly make, and the crust still turned out wonderfully. Your tips in the comment section are also very helpful- if I'd read them first I might have avoided some of my I Love Lucy baking moments... I will definitely be making this crust again! Lauren,
