LOW CARB ALMOND PIE CRUST
I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Obesity Help. It was posted by Lois Abbott. She says This works best for a 9" pie pan. If you have an 8" one, the crust will be a little thicker, or you can cut back on the ingredients a bit.

Steps:
- Grease a 9-inch (26 cm) pie pan with butter. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, salt, and sweetener.
- Stir in cooled melted butter, vanilla, and beaten egg.
- Combine with a spatula at first, then knead with your hand to form a pie dough (Watch my step-by-step picture above in this post for visual help).
- Place the dough ball in the center of two pieces of greased parchment paper and roll into a large1/8-inch thick rectangle.
- Peel off the first piece of parchment paper, slide your hand under the second piece of parchment paper with the rolled crust on it and quickly flip over the grease pie pan.
- Peel off the remaining piece of parchment paper to release the dough on the pie dish. The crust will break slightly, that's fine.
- Gently push down the rolled crust to fit the pan - some extra dough will fall out on the side of the pan. Use these pieces of dough to patch the holes where the crust breaks. Keep patching holes and smoothen the crust with the back of a spoon.
- Prick the crust using a fork and cover the sides of the crust with foil - this prevents the sides from darkening too fast. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Prebake the crust for 15-20 minutes. If the center puffs up, use a fork to prick and deflate.
- Remove from oven and add your favorite pie filling and return to the oven following the pie recipe to set the filling. You can keep the foil protection on the side of the pan to prevent it from darkening. Bake until the filling of your pie is set.

Tips:
- Use almond flour instead of white flour. Almond flour is a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to white flour that is perfect for making pie crusts. It has a slightly nutty flavor that complements the other ingredients in the pie.
- Add a little bit of salt to the crust. Salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the pie filling and enhances the flavor of the crust.
- Use cold butter. Cold butter will help to keep the crust flaky. If you use melted butter, the crust will be more dense.
- Work the dough quickly. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help to prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake the crust until it is golden brown. The crust should be cooked all the way through, but it should not be overcooked.
Conclusion:
This almond pie crust is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pie crusts. It is low in carbs and gluten-free, making it a great choice for people with diabetes or celiac disease. The crust is also easy to make and can be used for a variety of pies and tarts. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious pie crust, give this almond pie crust a try.
