Here’s a pie crust that’s a grain and dairy-free alternative to traditional pie crusts. Sure, it takes more effort than simply purchasing a frozen pie crust from the store, but this one is better for you. Fill it with your favorite seasonal fruit!
Note: Changing your diet is much more possible than you may believe. It IS possible to eat healthy food without feeling deprived, while feeling well nourished and satisfied.
But first it requires a commitment on your part. Give up the junk. Decide here and now that you are DONE with it. It may taste good while you are eating it, but it’s hurting you, so stop. Open yourself up to the possibility that you ARE capable of eating healthy as a way of life.
I know you can do this, because I’ve been where you are and I’ve done it myself. How exciting to know that a whole new healthy life awaits you!
You’ll love how the new you feels. (And I’ll be super proud of you too!)
½ cup blanched almond flour
½ cup coconut flour
¼ cup arrowroot starch
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup coconut oil, frozen and grated
2 tablespoons cold water
1 egg
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Preheat the oven to 400 ̊F. Lightly grease a pie dish with coconut oil.
Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch and sea salt in a bowl. Mix well.
Use a cheese grater to grate the frozen coconut oil into little pieces over the dough. Mix with your fingers until dough forms.
Combine the water, egg, and vinegar in a small bowl. Add to the dough. Mix in with your fingers. Form the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes, and for up to 3 days. Remove from the fridge and let sit for 20 minutes before using.
Place the dough ball on a piece of parchment paper and cover with another piece of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough. Shape the dough into a flat circle the size of your pie dish. Pick the parchment paper up and invert the dough into the pie dish. Press the dough into the dish. Fix any broken pieces and cracks by pressing the dough back together with your fingers. Pinch the edges to form a pretty crust.
Bake for 8–12 minutes, until golden. Fill with your favorite filling and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until bubbly. Enjoy!
