_Autumn brings an abundance of crisp juicy apples. And I can't think of anything better than using them to make an old fashioned apple pie. Here is a recipe for a rustic, free-form pie. You don't even need a pie plate! It is wheat, dairy, eggs, peanut and nut free. You can also make it soy free by using Spectrum shortening instead of Earth Balance shortening sticks. I use superfine brown rice and sweet rice flours. If you can not find the superfine flours, you can use regular brown rice and sweet rice flours. However, the texture will not be as smooth. I have served this pie to friends and they were shocked to discover that it was allergen-free. This recipe makes enough for 2 pies.
 
 
_What's the best part of cake?  The frosting of course! I found a recipe for vanilla butter cream frosting in Elizabeth Gordon's Allergy-Free Desserts cookbook, that I absolutely loved!  It made the lightest, fluffiest frosting-- alleShoppingrgy-free or not!
 
 
_These shortbread cookies are like the ones I had as a child when I lived in Europe.  They melt in your mouth.  What's best?  You can even store the dough in the fridge and use them as you need them!   There's no egg so it's easy to keep.
