Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups almond flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoon cold butter
  • 1.5 teaspoon cold water

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients in a food processor until the dough comes together. Roll out or press into a pie plate. For a pre-baked crust bake for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees until golden brown. Cool completely.
  • Or fill as desired and bake with the filling.

Notes

The absolute most important part of making this low carb pie crust is processing the dough long enough in the food processor"
Over the years I've had several of my readers say that the dough was too crumbly. After troubleshooting with them the same conclusion has happened every time. The keto pie crust dough needs to be processed longer.
Nutrition: this crust has 2.2 NET carbs per piece for 8 slices of pie. This does not include whatever pie fillings you use.
To Store: keep the pie stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Depending on the ingredients, most of the time, the pies will last up to 4 days in the fridge.  
To Freeze: put the pie crust in a freezer-safe container and make sure it’s in a sealed container. It will last up to 6 months.
