Ingredients
- Crust: 3/8 cup vegan margarine, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ⅛ cup molasses
- ⅛ cup applesauce (or ½ teaspoon egg replacer + 1 tablespoon water)
- ⅝ sorghum flour
- ½ cup brown rice flour
- ¼ cup tapioca starch
- ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger

- Pie Filling: 7 or 8 large peaches, cut in half and stone removed
- 2 oz. NAVAN vanilla liqueur
- ½ cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Making the Crust: Cream vegan margarine and brown sugar. Add molasses and applesauce (or prepared egg replacer).
- In a separate bowl, sift together sorghum flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix well.
- Press dough into a 10″ glass pie plate to a ¼” thickness. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and pierce crust bottom all over with fork to let steam escape. Cover edges of crust with foil. Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool to the touch before filling with fruit.
- Making the Grilled Peach Filling: Heat grill to at least 375°F.
- Place halved peaches cut side down. Grill for 5 minutes. Using tongs gently turn peaches over.
- Baste with vanilla liqueur. Close lid and grill for another 4 minutes.
- Remove from grill. Let sit until cooled before slicing.
- Combine sliced peaches with sugar and tapioca starch in a bowl. Pour filling into pre-baked gingersnap cookie pie crust.
- Re-cover the crust edges with foil. Place into preheated 350°F oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes. The filling should be set up.
I love peaches, but I’ll bet that nectarines will work in this recipe as well! Fruit desserts are the best, in my opinion.
