LOW CARB PALEO ALMOND FLOUR PIE CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Line the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate with a circle of parchment paper. (I just trace it and cut it out, using cooking spray to adhere it down.)
• In a large bowl, mix together your almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, monkfruit and salt.
• Cut in the butter, until it is broken down into pea-sized balls and the mixture is crumbly, almost like very thick streusel crumbs. I prefer to use my hands for this, but you could also use a pastry blender or a food processor!
• Add in the egg yolk and ice water and use your hands to mix until it forms a ball, making sure you get that egg yolk nice and mixed. Pat it into a disc, wrap with saran and chill for at least 2 hours
• Once chilled, roll it between 2 layers of parchment paper to just under ¼ inch thick and preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
• Gently flip the parchment paper right over onto the prepared pie plate and very gently pull the parchment off, using your hands to fix any cracks, and shape the sides. The crust will stick in spots, so just be very gentle pulling the parchment off. Since there is no gluten, this crust can handle being worked, so you can stick together any pieces that fall of, or any holes, after the crust is off the parchment. ***
• Poke holes all over the bottom with a fork and bake until the bottom is lightly golden, and the sides are a deep golden, about 15-17 minutes. If you don't want the crust to brown too much before baking again with a filling, bake it for 8 minutes and then gently tent tin foil over top and bake an additional 9-10 minutes until lightly golden.
• Let cool and then fill!

PEACH PIE WITH ALMOND-PECAN STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg. Allow to stand 15 minutes.
• Lightly brush uncooked pie shell with a thin layer of egg white to moisture-proof pie crust. Stir lemon juice and almond extract into peach mixture; spoon into pie shell.
• Mix brown sugar with flour; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Sprinkle mixture over peaches.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 400 degrees and bake 35 minutes more. To prevent overbrowning of rim of crust, cover edges with strips of foil.

ALMOND PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• To prepare homemade pie crust, place flour in mixing bowl; add butter and cut in with pastry blender. Add salt and then add COLD water 1 Tablespoon at a time. Mix and toss ingredients together with a fork until dough ball forms. Place in plastic wrap or Ziploc baggie and put into the refrigerator while you make the filling.
• To prepare filling, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, vanill and salt together in a mixing bowl.
• Whisk.
• Stir in the pecans and sliced almonds.
• Once filling is prepared, take the dough ball from the fridge and place on lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the crust dough into a circle at least 12 inches in diameter and gently fold pie crust into quarters. Move the folded pie crust from the counter to the pie plate. Unfold in the pie plate. Pour filling into pie shell. Flute edges in your favorite design.
• Place pie crust shield over the top or use foil to make a shield to keep the crust edges from burning or turning dark brown while baking.
• Bake at 375 for 40-50 minutes, or until filling has set.
• Let cool completely on cooling rack. Refrigerate. It's easiest to slice pie when its cold!
• Serve cool with whipped cream or warm with vanilla bean ice cream. You'll have to imagine the dollop of whipped cream.
