Is there anything more American than Apple Pie? That’s the saying right? I’d say it’s pretty stereotypical. So why not only flip it on it’s head while giving people with gluten issues a chance at indulging? That’s what I’ve done with this Gluten Free Chai Dutch Apple Pie. Making a Tradition A Little Less Traditional A typical apple pie is a combination of apple and cinnamon flavors. For this recipe, I utilized my favorite chai blend to change things up a bit.

Gluten Free Chai Slice and Bake Shortbread
If you ask me, shortbread is the most quintessentially British cookie. Scotch shortbread is so buttery and crumbly; it is one of my favorite treats. So for this recipe, I’ve merged my love of shortbread with my love of chai, to create a lovely, crumbly, Gluten Free Chai Shortbread perfect to dip in a cup of tea. If you’ve been following along, you may have noticed that I have an obsession with the Great British Baking Show. And if you’ve ever watched, you know that they talk about the “shortness” or crumbliness of “biscuits” i.e. cookies. So one can deduce that shortbread, should be “short” or crumbly. Why is Shortbread…
