Would it be Thanksgiving without a slice of pumpkin pie? Flakey pie crust with a creamy, perfectly spiced pumpkin filling. This gluten free vegan pumpkin pie is well suited for any holiday gathering! My version of a perfect pumpkin pie starts with a buttery, flakey gluten free pie crust. The vegan pumpkin filling is so silky smooth, thanks to the pumpkin puree and coconut milk.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

• 1 1/4 cups Sarah's gluten free flour blend
• 2 tablespoons cane sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Sift together flour blend, sugar and salt. Add vegan butter. Using pastry cutter, combine ingredients until resembles a coarse meal and butter pieces are less than pea-size.
2. Pour in 4 tablespoons cold water and vinegar. Continue to blend until dough comes together.
3. Pat dough into round disc, wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for an hour or until ready to use.

6. To make pie filling, add all pumpkin pie filling ingredients to blender. Blend on medium-high until smooth and well blended, about 1 minute.
7. Pour filling into pie crust. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until center is just about set. Allow pie to cool on cooling rack for 1 hour.
8. Place pie in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight, to chill completely. To serve, slice and top with whipped topping.
