This is a perfect recipe to have on hand during berry season!

Ingredients

almond flour, blanched		1½ cup
coconut flour		2 tbsp
organic palm shortening (*or softened coconut oil)		¼ cup
maple syrup or honey		3 tbsp
vanilla extract		1 tsp
sea salt		2 pinches

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 325°F.
Mix crust ingredients together, cutting in palm shortening (or softened coconut oil) first, and then mixing in the sweetener.
I suggest lining the bottom of the pie pan with parchment paper for easy slicing and serving. Mash the pie crust into a standard pie plate, forming the pie crust with your hands. Using a small fork, poke small holes in the base of the crust to help it avoid bubbling up when it bakes.

For Cooked Pie Filling:

If you’re adding a cooked pie filling to the crust you will want to bake the pie crust by itself at 325°F for 14 to 18 minutes, or until it turns a light golden brown.

For Unbaked Pie Filling:

If you are going to add a pie filing that is not yet baked, then you will want to par-bake the pie crust for only 10 to 12 minutes, add in the pie filling, and return to the oven to bake for the length of time determined by the recipe.
