How to Make Gluten Free Pie Crust

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, and salt.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour blend), roll out the dough to your desired thickness (about 1/8 inch).
Carefully transfer the dough to your pie plate.
Trim and crimp the edges.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
For a blind bake (recommended for some fillings): line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Fill with your favorite pie filling and bake according to your recipe instructions.
