How to Make Oat Almond Pie Crust

In a blender or food processor, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats and ½ cup sliced almonds. Grind to a coarse powder.
Transfer the oat-almond mixture to a large bowl.
Add 2 cups all-purpose flour and mix well.
Drizzle in ½ cup cold vegetable shortening (or butter) and using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 6-8 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together and forms a ball. Don't overmix.
On a lightly floured surface, flatten the dough into a ½-inch thick circle. Roll the dough into a thin circle approximately 11 inches in diameter.
Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press it into the bottom and up the sides, trimming any excess dough to leave a ½-inch overhang.
Crimp the edges to create a decorative fluted edge.
Place the unfilled crust in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to chill.
**To bake the crust (without filling):**
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line the chilled pie crust with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Place the lined pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove the foil and pie weights and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown.
Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack before filling with your favorite pie recipe.
