Flourless Pies & Tarts

Flourless pies and tarts are gluten-free desserts made without conventional wheat flour. Anna starts with delicious Raspberry Clafoutis, a classic French dessert that uses ground almond as a base rather than a traditional tart pastry. Next Anna moves on to a Flourless Pear and Cranberry Pie, an exquisite winter dessert. To show viewers another option that is a little more complex but worth the extra effort, Anna prepares Flourless French Apple Tart with a flourless crust. This is a truly elegant dessert. Anna uses that same flourless crust and shows its versatility by making Cheddar Shortbread and Preserves.
