In our care package that we received last week, we got a real special treat: An Apple Pie/Crisp from Gillian’s Foods. What a perfect fall dessert and easy to prepare! Just pop into the oven for an hour and 20 minutes and it is done! The house smelled heavenly while it was baking. My Mom put it in the oven right before the kids started Trick or Treating on Friday night. After our dinner, both Jon and I dug into the apple goodness. The pie crust edges were a little too crisp, but the crust in the pie dish, topped with the apple mixture, was very good. This is a great go-to dessert. Nice to have on-hand in your freezer for a quick dessert with no work on your part. We topped with Cool Whip (the new stuff, in the can!), but ice cream would be yummy too!

My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
Where do you find this? It looks wonderful.
I shared your blog with the manager of a local Kroger last week. He runs the Healthfood section and said he needs to learn more about GF food.
Thanks,
Julie

Thanks for sharing that with him!
IMPORTANT – Gillian’s frozen pie crusts SUCK. They actually taste worse than cardboard. Can’t speak to the box mix, but the ready-made is SO SO SO bad. STAY AWAY.
I have never just tried the pie crust alone. This was an actual dessert that was pre-made & frozen. It actually was pretty decent, though I have had better since.
I prefer Whole Foods Gluten-free Bakehouse frozen pie crusts.
