for a Sweet Holiday Season
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you’re like us at Josie’s Best GF, you’re already planning your dessert table! It’s time to embrace the flavors of the season with gluten-free treats that everyone can enjoy. Whether you’re a pie person, a tart enthusiast, or someone who loves a crisp, we’ve got you covered with four scrumptious gluten-free Thanksgiving desserts.
1. Gluten-Free Dutch Apple Pie
There’s nothing quite like a classic Dutch Apple Pie to celebrate Thanksgiving. Our Gluten-Free Dutch Apple Pie is the perfect combination of tender apples, warm spices, and a buttery crumb topping. Using our gluten-free pie crust recipe as a base, this pie has a delightful crunch from the streusel and a filling that’s both sweet and tart. The best part? You can serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a crowd-pleasing dessert that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Tips:
- Choose a mix of sweet and tart apples like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith for a balanced flavor.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth.
2. Gluten-Free Apple Tart
If you’re looking to impress your guests with a stunning yet simple dessert, our Gluten-Free Apple Tart is a winner. This elegant tart features thinly sliced apples arranged beautifully atop a buttery gluten-free crust. It’s a showstopper that tastes as good as it looks, making it a must-have on your gluten-free Thanksgiving desserts list.
Tips:
- Brush the apples with melted butter and a sprinkle of sugar for a gorgeous caramelized finish.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
3. Gluten-Free Cranberry Apple Crisp
For a cozy and comforting dessert that celebrates the flavors of fall, try our Gluten-Free Cranberry Apple Crisp. This crisp combines the tartness of fresh cranberries with the sweetness of apples, topped with a buttery, golden oat crumble. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a crunchy texture that pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free and can easily be made dairy-free by using vegan butter.
Tips:
- Use a combination of apples and cranberries for the filling to get a mix of sweet and tart flavors.
- For an extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping.
4. Gluten-Free Pie Crust – The Foundation for All Your Pies
Every great pie starts with a great crust, and our Gluten-Free Pie Crust recipe is as good as it gets. It’s flaky, buttery, and easy to make, perfect for all your holiday pie needs. Whether you’re making a classic pumpkin pie, pecan pie, or even a savory quiche, this crust will become your go-to for any gluten-free pie.
Tips:
- Keep your butter cold and work quickly to ensure a flaky crust.
- Pre-bake the crust slightly if your filling is very moist to prevent a soggy bottom.
