Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil (chilled for best texture)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, natural gelling agent, and sea salt. Whisk gently to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (natural), and apple cider vinegar. Stir thoroughly to combine until the mixture begins to come together, but avoid making it too sticky.
  3. Form the Dough: Using your hands, gently press the mixture into a ball, then flatten it into a disc. This makes it easier to roll out or press into your pie dish.
  4. Shape the Crust: Lightly dust your work surface with almond flour, then roll out the dough to fit your pie pan or press it directly with your fingers for a rustic appearance. Ensure the edges are even for a neat finish.
  5. Pre-Bake (Optional): If needed, bake the crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cool; use chilled coconut oil to maintain a flaky texture.
  • Do not overwork the dough to avoid a dense crust.
  • Roll the dough evenly for uniform baking.
  • Use parchment paper to roll out the crust and prevent sticking.
  • Press the edges firmly to prevent filling leaks during baking.
