Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine almond flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add melted butter and lightly beaten egg. Stir until all the ingredients are moistened and dough sticks together.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a 9 or 10-inch pie plate. Press down and spread evenly with your fingers on the bottom and up the sides. Then take a small measuring cup and press down firmly on the bottom, smoothing evenly. If making a fluted edge, press the crust up the sides until it goes over the top of the pie plate.

Step 3

Use your thumb and forefinger to flute the edges in a decorative design. Prick the bottom of the crust several times to prevent the crust from bubbling up while baking.

Step 4

If pouring in a filing to bake, first par bake the crust for 10-12 minutes before filling. For a fully baked crust, bake for 22-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Almond flour pie crust edges brown quickly, so use a pie shield or cover edges with foil. TIP: If edges are becoming too brown before the bottom crust finishes baking, move the pie to the lower rack and cover edges with another layer of foil.
