How to Make Gluten Free Pie Crust
Now, you may be wondering how to make a flaky, delicious pie crust that is also gluten free. Fear not- all that buttery, flaky goodness is still gonna be there when you use my low carb paleo almond flour pie crust recipe! It is sure to be a crowd pleaser!
This crust will be the perfect addition to your sugar free pecan pie! Here’s how you’re going to make it:
Mix
In a large bowl, mix together your almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, salt and sweetener. Cut in 5 Tbsp of VERY cold butter that is diced into small pieces. Once your butter is broken down into small pieces, add in 1 egg yolk and 2 tsp of VERY cold, ice water.Â
Combine
Use your hands to mix until it forms a ball. Pat it into a disc, wrap with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
Prepare
To roll out this pie crust, you’ll want to roll it between 2 layers of parchment paper to just under ¼ inch thick. Gently flip the parchment paper over a parchment lined 9-inch pie plate and very gently pull the parchment off, using your hands to fix any cracks.
Bake
Poke holes all over the bottom and bake until golden brown! Let cool and USE!

Deeeelish! Now here’s how to combine these ingredients into the perfect Thanksgiving sugar free pecan pie.
Cook
Whisk together the butter and sweetener on medium-high heat. Cook, while whisking frequently, until the mixture is browned and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes. Once golden, add in the cream and whisk constantly until you reach a light simmer.
Simmer
Let the mixture simmer for about 8 minutes, until it thickens. Then remove it from heat and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Prepare the Pecans
While the filling mixture is cooling, preheat your oven to 350 and spread the pecans on a large baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until toasted. Roughly chop the nuts and set aside.
Finish the Filling
Once the cooked mixture has cooled, whisk in the eggs, salt and extracts until combined. Stir in the pecans.
Bake
Fill your pie crust with the filling and bake for about 30 minutes, or until filling is set. Let cool until room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

- Pour the pie filling into your pie crust and pop it in the freezer, uncovered. Make sure that the pie is on a level surface so it freezes evenly.
- After about 2-3 hours, your pie should be frozen solid! Grab it out of the freezer, cover it with 2 layers of plastic wrap and one layer of aluminum foil, then toss it back in the freezer
