A No-Roll Paleo Pie Crust is a great gluten-free and grain-free option for those following a paleo or gluten-free diet. It’s a simple crust that doesn’t require rolling out dough, making it quick and easy to prepare. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup arrowroot flour or tapioca flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or ghee
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a Pie Dish:
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish with a bit of coconut oil or ghee to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot or tapioca flour, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil or ghee and the egg until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. You should have a slightly sticky, but moldable dough.
- Press into Pie Dish:
- Transfer the dough to the greased pie dish. Use your fingers to press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish, forming the crust. Make sure it’s evenly distributed.
- Prick the Crust (Optional):
- If you’re pre-baking the crust for a no-bake pie, you can prick the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
- Bake:
- Place the pie crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until it’s set and lightly golden brown. If you’re making a no-bake pie, you can skip this step and chill the crust in the refrigerator until ready to fill.
- Cool and Fill:
- Allow the crust to cool completely before filling it with your desired pie filling. Once filled, follow the recipe instructions for baking or chilling the pie.
This No-Roll Paleo Pie Crust is a versatile option that can be used for both sweet and savory pies. It has a nutty and slightly coconut flavor that pairs well with a variety of fillings. Enjoy your paleo-friendly pie!
