Make your Own Almond Flour Pie Crust - Pastry Crust Substitute

This is a great recipe to replace gluten based pastry pie crust.

INGREDIENTS:
 
1 cup almond flour
1 egg
1 cap Pure Vanilla Extract
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
enough sugar substitute or honey to sweeten crust
pinch of salt

LET'S MAKE THE PIE CRUST:
 
1. Mix all ingredients together until they form a ball. The ball should have a little moisture to it, but not liquid.

2. You can taste it to make sure there is some sweetness and hint of cinnamon and butter.

3. Smooth pieces of dough into pie tin with fingers until the crust is made.  If you want, you can lightly spray the pan before you add the dough.

4. If making pudding/cream pies, bake crust first at about 325 F until just turning a slight golden brown keeping an eye on the crust.  Times will vary depending on your oven and altitude.  Before putting in oven, prick the bottom and sides with a fork or weigh down the bottom with pie weights so the shell doesn't bubble up.
