This is the easiest pie crust ever. It’s great for pot pies, quiches, and dessert pies. It mixes quickly in a food processor, and is grain free, gluten free, and family approved!

Ingredients

• 1 cup blanched almond flour
• 3 Tbsp coconut flour
• 2/3 cup tapioca flour
• 1/2 cup butter (sub palm shortening for dairy free)
• 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt
• 1 large egg

Method

1. Add the blanched almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, butter, and sea salt to the bowl of a food processor*. Pulse all the ingredients to create thick crumbs. Add the egg and pulse until a dough forms. It will be somewhat sticky. Gather the dough into a ball and place it on a large piece of parchment paper.
2. Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper. I always roll to about 1/4 inch thickness. Place the rolled out dough into the refrigerator to cool.
3. When ready to use, you can either cut out the size needed (if using ramekins), or flip the dough into the pie dish, removing any excess dough from the sides. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the dish to fit. The dough breaks easily (since it lacks gluten), but it’s very easy to repair any breaks in the dough. Simply add more pieces and press them together. It’s very forgiving!
4. Once pressed into the pie dish, gently pierce the dough with a fork all over so it doesn’t puff up while baking.
5. For a partially baked crust, bake at 375 degrees F for about 6-8 minutes, until barely set.
6. For a fully baked crust, bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes, or until very lightly browned. If you notice the edges browning too soon, you can loosely cover the crust with foil.
7. This crust is perfect for quiches, desserts, pot pies, and anything else you want a crust on! For double crusted pies, double the recipe. Happy Cooking!

Notes

*If you don’t have a food processor, mix all of the dry ingredients. Then take a cheese grater, and grate (preferably frozen, but refrigerated is fine) the butter into the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork. Then whisk the egg, and add to the dough. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
