Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, and salt.
Melt the butter and add to the almond flour mixture along with the vanilla extract. Stir until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use a fork to poke several holes in the crust to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.
In a large saucepan, combine the raspberries, stevia, and lemon juice over medium heat and stir gently.
Dissolve xanthan gum in the cold water and add to the raspberry mixture. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the raspberry mixture from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it into the prepared crust.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
Serve chilled, either plain or with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
