Sprouted Spelt Pie Crust
Yields one 9″ deep dish pie crust

Shown above with Shiloh Farms Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie filling, this easy pie crust is sure to become a favorite. Spelt flour is more easily digested than other forms of wheat, meaning that many who suffer from gluten sensitivities can tolerate spelt. However, to make a truly gluten free version of this dough, substitute an equivalent amount of PureLiving Sprouted Heirloom Blend Flour. The resulting dough will be more delicate, so be sure to take extra care when handling and baking.
