Instructions for GF Pumpkin Pie

For crust, combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix together with fingers until dough forms.
Place dough between two rice-floured sheets of wax paper. Roll pastry out to the size of your pie shell. Remove top layer of paper and turn pastry into pie shell. Press into shell firmly and trim or crimp edges.
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all ingredients for filling in a large bowl and mix well. Pour mixture into prepared gluten-free pie crust.
Bake 20-25 minutes until filling is set. Remove from oven. Let the pie cool before serving.
