Does anyone have Gluten Free recipes for Christmas goodies?

Yay so sadly this time of year sucks for me considering I’m allergic to wheat/gluten. I miss apple pie, pumpkin pie, cookies of any kind and those holiday treats you never know the real name of you just know they taste amazing. Any good and easy(you don’t have to be a pastry chef to pull off) treats or baking ideas?

My friend has celiac disease, so she is incredibly allergic to wheat too.

Here’s some good recipes…

Here are some for Christmas that might be good:

“Easy Pie Crust:

Ingredients:
2 cups gluten-free flour (1 cup tapioca flour- 1 cup white rice flour)
6 table spoons gluten-free butter
6 table spoons gluten-free shortening
1 table spoon powdered milk
1 teaspoon xanthan gum or guar gum
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/3 cup cold water

Directions:
Sift both flours, xanthan gum, powdered milk, salt) into mixing bowl, add butter and shortening and use your pastry cutter to blend together until well cut, then add cold water and knead until it is the constancy that is a bit soft but not too stiff looking mashed potatoes, make two same-sized balls and place each between waxed paper and roll to fit a 9 inch glass pie dish. Fill desired pie filling and bake according to which pie you are making—for pumpkin Bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean–I covered my crust with foil after the 15 minutes and they turned out beautiful.”

That was from the site link I posted. You could still fill that pie with fruit or chocolate. Whatever you want that doesn’t have wheat! Good luck and happy holidays!
