How to Make Almond Pie Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, 1 1/2 cups almond flour (or other nut flour), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup blanched, slivered almonds (or 1 cup of your preferred nut, coarsely chopped).
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or a fork, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly coated. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to shape the crust.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Let the crust cool completely in the pie plate before adding your favorite pie filling.
