2/3 cup Gluten Free Oats ground for 30 seconds in a food processor 2/3 cup Domata GFCF Flour 3 T Brown Sugar, frimly packed ¾ tsp ground cinnamon |
¼ tsp salt 6 T cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes 3 to 4 T of cold milk or half and half (may use milk substitute if needed)

To make the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the oats, flours, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut the butter into small cubes, and work it into the dry ingredients (using your fingers, a pastry blender or fork, or a mixer) until the dough is unevenly crumbly. Sprinkle in the milk, continuing to mix until the dough is cohesive. Grab a handful; if it holds together willingly, and doesn't seem at all dry or crumbly, you've added enough liquid.
Shape the dough into a disk. Roll its edges along a floured work surface (as though the disk were a wheel), in order to smooth them out. Pat the disk till it's about 1" thick, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight, or for up to 3 days.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Allow it to warm a bit and become flexible, 15 to 30 minutes. Flour your work surface, and roll the dough into a 12" circle. It may crack a bit around the edge; that's OK. Just patch the crust once it's in the pan. Transfer the dough to a regular (not deep-dish) 9" pie pan that's at least 1 ¼" deep. Trim and crimp the edges, making a tall crimp. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
