Pie is an essential dessert during the holidays here in America. This is a very good substitute for the flaky pie crust my Grandmother taught me to make. When I learned wheat flour was the culprit in my extreme discomfort, I thought I’d never have pie again (and feel good about it afterward, anyway). This does the trick.
- 1 cup almond flour (sweet)
- 1/2 cup arrowroot starch
- 1/4 tsp sea salt (salty)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon–optional (pungent, bitter)
- 3 TBS vegetable oil
- 3 TBS ice water
- Blend the dry ingredients together.
- Add oil and water, all at once and stir. The mixture should stick together to form a ball. If it is crumbly, add more water, a little at a time until it forms a ball.
- Lightly oil a 9″ pie pan (glass seems to work best), and press the dough evenly to cover the bottom and sides. The dough may tear easily, but its also very easy to mend.
- Bake in a preheated, 400 degree oven for 3 minutes.
- Fill and bake according to recipe.
- If filling does not require further baking, then bake crust alone for 15 minutes for a crisp, delicious crust.
