Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients.
Stir the mixture until it forms a crumbly, moist texture that holds together when pressed.
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie pan or tart pan.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form a crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to smooth and compact the surface.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely before filling with your desired ingredients.
