Grain Free Pie Crust

Recipe by Heather MoffattCourse: Dessert

Grain free, gluten free, organic pie crust that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour (preferably organic)

  • 1 cup organic tapioca flour

  • 1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

  • 1 tbsp organic coconut sugar

  • 1/2 cup or 8 tbsp organic grass feed butter cut into pieces

  • 1 organic pastured raised egg

  • 1 tsp organic vanilla extract

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a bowl or food processor combine almond flour, tapioca flour, salt, coconut sugar and either stir or pulse together.
  • Add cut up butter. If mixing in a bowl, either with a fork or wire pastry blender mash everything together until it resembles a dough or pulse all ingredients in your food processor until a dough forms.
  • Next add the vanilla and egg and mix into your dough.
  • Once all ingredients for the crust are mixed together place dough in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes to firm up making it easier to roll out.
  • Grease pie plate with organic grass fed butter or refined coconut oil.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on your counter/working space, remove dough from the refrigerator and place raw dough on top of parchment. Also place a piece of parchment over the top of the dough.
  • Then use what ever means you have possible, roll dough out into a round shape about 1/4 inch thickness. (I use a smooth glass and my hands, lol) If you have trolling pin by all means use that.
  • Carefully remove the top piece of parchment and place your greased pie plate upside-down on top of your dough. Then carefully flip your plate over with the crust on top.
  • The bottom piece of parchment should be on top now, slowly and carefully peel back the parchment. The dough maybe a little sticky at this points do the best you can at peeling back the parchment. It is a forgiving crust so you can piece it back together if need be.
  • Once parchment is off gently press dough into pie plate. If you have extra dough over the edges trim off and fill in any areas that need extra dough.
  • If you need a precooked pie crust place pie plate with raw dough in the oven for 20-25 minutes otherwise pour in your pie filling and bake according to your pie’s directions.
