This gluten-free pie crust is easy to make from scratch using common ingredients. It's perfect for both sweet and savory pies. The trick is leaving large chunks of butter whole to create a flaky crust. The baked crust holds its shape well and delivers a nice slice of filled pie without falling apart.
