Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Almonds or walnuts (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold and diced)
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the rolled oats in a food processor and pulse several times until they have a coarse, flour-like consistency.
Add the chopped almonds or walnuts, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt to the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, diced butter into the food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add one tablespoon of ice water at a time, pulsing the mixture after each addition, until the dough begins to come together. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the mixture to a clean work surface and gently press it together into a ball. Flatten it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for 15-20 minutes.
Once chilled, press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring the bottom and sides are fully covered.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before adding your filling.
