Once ready, add your favorite filling and enjoy!
Everyone has their own special pie crust recipe, but they’re typically loaded with butter and processed flour. Not the case with our Almond Crumb Pie Crust. Instead of butter and flour, this recipe calls for coconut oil and processed raw almonds that are full of irresistibly good-for-you flavor! Add a dash of cinnamon and coconut sugar and you’ve got a healthy pie crust that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe.
The crust-making process is super easy. Simply pulse the almonds, create a crumb mixture, press into a pan, and bake. Once ready, add your favorite filling and enjoy!
Almond Crumb Pie Crust
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds raw, with skin
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- pinch kosher or sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted, optional pure butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350 degrees.
- In a food processor or chopping device, add almonds, oats, salt, and cinnamon. Pulse until a fine crumb-like consistency, being careful not to turn into flour. In a medium mixing bowl, combine crumbs with coconut sugar and melted oil or butter.
- Add crumb mixture to a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan. Press crumbs onto the bottom and sides. (Tip: To make it a little easier, place a piece of plastic wrap around your hand for pressing or use the bottom of a drinking glass.)
