Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix the butter into the almond flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the large egg to the bowl and mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for 10 minutes before working with it further.
Press the dough evenly into the greased pie pan, covering the bottom and sides. Flatten and smooth out the surface using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is just starting to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent overbaking.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely before adding your desired filling.
