For the Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Add the flour and powdered sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to mix then add the butter and pulse until combined and the dough starts to form a ball.

To Make the Filling

Notes
Notes
• If you use a flour blend that doesn’t contain xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon when making the crust and ¼ teaspoon when making the filling.
• The weight measurement for the flour is based on Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 flour. Other flour blends will not weight the same cup for cup.
• You can mix up the filling while the crust is baking. Do not cool the crust for long before you add the filling.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
