Ready to roll? Here are some ideas to get you starting to think about what awesome filling you want your gluten free pie to have!

• Classic Apple & Cinnamon – An absolute staple 🍏 Toss apple slices in our sweet pastry with some sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg. Bake ‘til golden, then serve with a mountain of whipped cream.
• Chocolate Hazelnut Dream – Melt dark chocolate, stir in chopped hazelnuts, and pour it into a pre-baked crust 🍫 Top with sea salt flakes for that sweet-salty kick.
• Cherry pie – Another classic, this one really packs a sweet-tart punch! Mix , mix juicy cherries (fresh or frozen works!) with a touch of sugar, a squeeze of lemon, and a dash of almond extract if you're feeling fancy🍒 Wrap it up in sweet shortcrust pastry, bake, and try not to eat the whole thing!!
• Maple Pecan – Imagine gooey maple syrup mixed with toasty pecans for a caramelized crunch in every bite. Pair it with the sweet shortcrust for the ultimate wintery dessert.

• Steak & Ale – Slow-cooked steak chunks in rich ale gravy with carrots and onions 🥩 Pair this with the shortcrust GF pastry, and you’ve got a pub classic in pie form.
• Spicy Veggie Chickpea – Simmer chickpeas with curry spices, diced veg, and coconut milk. Spoon it into the crust, bake, and watch as everyone fights for a slice.
• Classic Chicken Leek & Bacon – Sauté leeks, then add shredded chicken, bacon chunks, and a rich béchamel sauce 🐔 Pile it into your shortcrust pastry and bake ‘til golden.
• Goat Cheese, Beet, & Walnut – A bit more left-field of a filling, just roast beetroot, add creamy goat cheese and a sprinkle of walnuts. Pop it in the vegan pastry and bake for a colourful, earthy combo.

Whichever you pick, just roll out that gluten-free pastry and get creative. In the meantime, let's have a quick look at an example recipe to get your started on your baking journey...

This one’s a lazy baker’s dream—no pie tin, just pure, rustic magic.

1. Roll out our Sweet Shortcrust Pastry into a rough circle.
2. Toss your apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until everything’s well-coated.
3. Pile the apple mixture into the pie crust and dot with small pieces of butter for extra richness. Top with another layer of pastry or cut it into strips for a lattice pattern. Crimp the edges with a fork for that rustic “I totally meant to make it look this way” vibe.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are soft.
5. Let it cool slightly (if you can wait) and slice it up! Add a scoop of glorious Devon clotted cream, and you're good to go!
