Toasted Coconut & Almond Crust

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut chopped small
  • 1/4 cup sugar or use sugar substitute of choice
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix the almond flour, coconut, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. You want them mixed well so that there aren't clumps when you add the liquid.
  • Add the vanilla and melted butter and stir with a spoon to mix until all the dry ingredients are wet.
  • Press into a pie plate, patting down. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten and get to the sides. Prick the bottom of the shell a few times with a fork.
  • Bake at 350°F for 8-12 minutes until it just begins to brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Notes

For a pre-baked crust, bake at 350°F for 8-12 minutes until it just begins to brown.
To bake a filled pie, pre-bake for 10-12 minutes before adding fillings. You may need to cover the edges in foil to avoid over-browning. Let the pie crust cool before adding fillings and baking again.
