See how quickly you can make an almond flour pie crust by following the simple step-by-step instructions below.

Ingredients

• Almond Flour: The gluten-free base of the pie crust dough.
• Tapioca Starch: Binds ingredients together and adds a hint of sweetness.
• White Sugar: For sweetness.
• Salt: Brings the flavors together.
• Egg: Helps bind the ingredients to form a dough.
• Butter: Adds moisture and richness to the crust.

How to Make Almond Flour Pie Crust

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter. Set aside. Combine almond flour, tapioca starch, salt, and sugar.
2. Add in the egg and butter. Mix with a rubber spatula, then knead to combine. 
3. Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll into a 13-inch circle. Remove the top piece of parchment and flip it onto the pie pan.
4. Press together and mend any rips. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the center. Bake for 15 minutes. Add your filling, then bake per the pie recipe.

Tips for Making Almond Flour Pie Crust

• If you want to add a pretty look, you can pinch around the edges to form a crimped crust.
• Make sure you don’t skip parbaking the pie crust before using. This helps keep the crust nice and crisp.
• Don’t overfill the pie! If you do, you’ll have a mess in the oven and a pie crust that may end up being soggy on the bottom.
• You can make the pie dough ahead of time and store in several ways. Keep the ball of dough wrapped in plastic wrap, roll out the raw crust and store in a covered pan, or pre-bake it. No matter which route you go, make sure to keep the dough in the fridge.

How Will I Know When the Pie Crust Is Done Baking?

Pay close attention to the edges of the pie crust. That is the area that will start to brown first, indicating that the crust is ready. Don’t overbake since the crust will go back into the oven once it’s filled.

What Are the Most Popular Types of Pie?

It all depends on the season and time of year. For Thanksgiving, classics like pumpkin pie, apple pie, and pecan pie always top the list.

You’ll also find that fruit pies are really popular during the summer months and chocolate pies tend to top the list during Christmas time.

One thing’s for sure—you can’t go wrong with homemade pies! This easy almond flour crust recipe is a great pairing with any pie filling.

Substitutions

• If you want to add more fall flavor to the crust, mix in a little bit of ground cinnamon. Just be sure to stir it well so that there aren’t clumps in the mixture.
