Description
A delicious and easy almond flour pie crust recipe suitable 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. See notes for egg free version.
- 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 10 minutes. To fully bake the crust without any filling bake for 20 minutes.
Notes
- For an egg-free version, consider using a flax egg or another suitable substitute.
- To achieve the best texture, ensure the coconut oil or butter is well mixed into the dough.
