This delicious gluten free crust was adapted from The Minimalist Baker and is excellent for all kinds of pie. We especially like it for our Vegan Pecan Pie.
⅔ cup
Coconut Oil, solid and scoopable, not liquid
(144 g)
8–12 Tbsp
Ice Water
(118–176 mL)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add coconut oil by the spoonful. Work the coconut oil into the flour with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Add ice water a few tablespoons at a time and mix until a crumbly but hydrated dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan as one would a graham cracker crust, to a thickness of ⅛–¼ inch on the sides and bottom. Form a top crust edge and flute or shape as desired.
Use as directed in your pie recipe, or to par-bake: Dock the bottom of the crust several times with a fork. Line with parchment, fill with pie weights, and bake until the top edge is just colored, about 15 minutes.
