Pie!
I know, I have made a pie without a crust before. Who needs a crust I said.
Well, after I made this crust and filled it with a pie I have totally changed my mind!
This pie crust is Grain gree, Sugar Free, Dairy free low carb and keto. This pie crust is perfect for cheesecakes.
I like my crust to just line the bottom of the pie. If you want this crust to rise higher I would increase the ingredients by a third.
Savory or Sweet
Use this recipe and exclude the sweeteners to make a savory pie crust suitable for a quiche.
This can even work well as a pis crust. The possibilities are endless my friends.

Can this be made in advance and froze until needed?
I have not tried this but I bet it would be fine. Let me know if you do freeze it and how it turns out
Can I use granulated sugar free substitutes rather than liquid?
I have not tried this recipe without the stevia when I was making it sweet however I bet it would be just fine without it.
Can the almond flour be substituted for something else. I have a nut allergy and cannot find a good keto crust that doesn’t call for almond flour.
Unfortunately I have not tried to make an almond flour free crust. I do not think that you can sub 1:1 Almond for Coconut Flour in this recipe.
Can you substitute ghee 1:1 for coconut oil? I realize this removes the non-dairy aspect but my thought us it might make the crust buttery and richer.
Go for it, I think it would work out just fine 🙂
Hey just curious, how did the Ghee work out?
