How to Make Cinnamon Pecan Pie Shell

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place 1 ½ cups pecans into a food processor and pulse until finely ground, resembling coarse meal.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the ground pecans, ¼ cup coconut flour, 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate, forming an even crust. You may need to use your hands to press it evenly along the edges and bottom.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack before adding your pie filling.
  6. Fill with your favorite pie filling (pumpkin, apple, chocolate, etc.) and bake according to the filling's instructions. This crust is also perfect for no-bake pies!
  7. Let cool completely before serving and enjoy!
