Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 0.25 cup Granulated Sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 large Egg Yolk
• 2 tablespoons Cold Water
• 2 cups Pineapple Chunks
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. If needed, add a bit more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Step 5

Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, covering the bottom and sides evenly.

Step 6

Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Step 7

In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple chunks, cornstarch, 0.25 cup water, and lemon juice over medium heat.

Step 8

Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes glossy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10

Carefully pour the pineapple filling into the prepared tart shell.

Step 11

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack before removing the pan ring.

Step 13

Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your gluten-free pineapple tart!
