Description
A simple almond flour pie crust recipe that is perfect for both sweet and savory pies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (leave out if you’re making a savoury pie/quiche)
- 3 tablespoons melted or softened coconut oil or butter/vegan butter
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Add the almond flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the maple syrup (if using) and coconut oil or butter. Mix until you get a soft, sandy-like texture. I find it easy just using my hands here.
- Add the egg and mix until a soft dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a 9 inch pie plate. Use your hands to press dough into the pie dish to form your crust. The dough may feel a little oily at this point.
- To par bake the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. Bake for 10 minutes. To fully bake the crust without any filling, bake for 20 minutes.
Notes
- If making an egg-free version, see additional notes on substitutions.
- Ensure the coconut oil is melted if you are using it for this recipe.
