From the recipes: Grain Free Pumpkin Slab Pie from MI Gluten-Free Gal and Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Pie from Sarah Bakes Gluten Free

For the crust:

1 pkg Chebe Cinnamon Roll Mix (1-1/4 cups)

2 tbsp oil

1 egg

4 tbsp cold butter, cut into chunks

4 tbsp ice cold water

For the Filling:

2 1/4 cups pure pumpkin purée

3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk

1/2 cup cane sugar

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup cornstarch or tapioca starch

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon ginger juice

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

non-dairy whipped topping for serving (optional)

In a large bowl, combine ingredients for the filling and whisk until completely combined. Cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for one to two hours.

Meanwhile, prepare the crust. Add the Chebe Cinnamon Roll mix to a food processor, along with the oil and egg. To that, add the cold butter. Pulse until a dry sand texture develops.

Slowly add the ice cold water to the processor, one tablespoon at a time. Process until a ball of dough forms. Lightly flour a work surface with grain free flour or tapioca starch. Roll the large portion of dough into a large rectangle, approximately 11 by 15 inches.

Transfer crust to an un-greased quarter sheet pan. Use your fingers to press into place, making sure dough forms up the sides of the pan. Place pan in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for crust to chill. Doing so prevents the crust from shrinking as it bakes.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Once oven is preheated, removed crust and filling from the refrigerator. Pour approximately half of the pie filling into the prepared crust. Bake the pie at 425 for 10 minutes. Then, immediately turn the temperature down to 350, and continue to bake for another 20-60 minutes. Check every 20 minutes. Bake until the outer edges of the slab pie are set, and the center is ever so slightly jiggly.

Chill in the refrigerator or set on the counter to cool.

Prepared Pie Crusts

Cherry Pie Filling

1 beaten egg

Course sugar crystals for decoration

For the crust:

1 pkg Chebe All Purpose Bread Mix (1-1/4 cups)

2 tbsp oil

2 eggs

4 tbsp cold butter (cut into chunks)

4 tbsp ice cold water

Use Chebe All Purpose Bread Mix to make two pie crusts. I use a stand mixer to cut in the butter an and make the dough. Roll the dough out to make two 9-inch crusts. You can use them both or freeze one for later. Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.

Cut out 3 1/2" round circles. I used only one pie crust, which resulted in 8 circles. Brush bottom crust with beaten egg. Then, top with 2-3 tbsp cherry pie filling. Take another circle of crust and lightly brush with beaten egg. Place egg side down on top of cherry filling. Using fork, crimp edges of the gluten-free cherry hand pie closed.

Brush top of hand pie with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar crystals. Repeat steps with additional pie crust dough. Bake gluten-free cherry hand pies covered with brown paper bag for 25 minutes. You can remove bag during last three minutes of baking to achieve a darker crust.
