This gluten-free paleo pie crust recipe can be used for many types of pies. It is a comparable replacement for pies that would call for a graham cracker pie crust. I've used it for pumpkin pie, banana cream pie, and chocolate cream pie with success. It could be used for other pie recipes as well.

This recipe is a “press-in” pie crust, meaning there is no rolling out dough. It makes it a very quick pie crust to make and less cleanup.

Why Is this a Healthier Pie Crust?

First, if you or someone in your family has celiac disease or gluten-intolerance, a gluten-free pie crust is a must. Even if you are not gluten intolerant, non-organic wheat is high in pesticides and hard to digest. This recipe is also paleo, which means is grain-free and lower in carbohydrates. Almond flour is not only lower in carbohydrates but it's also full of antioxidants like vitamin E and in minerals like calcium. With all of that being said, almond flour treats should also be considered treats.

Gluten-free Paleo Pie Crust Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. First, you will mix all ingredients together with a fork to get it all well combined. It will stick together but it is not a sticky pie crust. Once it is fully mixed together, place it in a 9″ pie plate. Use your fingers to press the crust to cover the entire pie plate. Pull the dough up the sides and over the rim of the pie plate until it looks nice. Place the pie plate in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool before filling.

Now this crust is ready to use for any pie of your choosing. You can even use this crust for a quiche or a savory pie as well.
