Does this almond flour graham cracker pie crust taste like almonds?

This pie crust is just slightly sweet and full of delicious graham cracker flavor. The almond flour just adds a touch of texture, nothing nutty about it. The crust only needs 1/3 of a cup so it’s just enough to help the crumb still together with the butter, but definitely does not add an almond flavor.

How to Make this Almond Flour Graham Cracker Crust

Simple Ingredients list

The ingredients for this gluten free graham cracker crust couldn’t be simpler. Just some of these amazing graham crackers, some almond flour, a bit of coconut sugar and some melted butter. A quick mix and it’ll be ready for the pie plate.

Forming the crust

This recipe makes enough crust for a large pie – so for a 9 inch pie plate, you will not use all the crust. Start with half of it and then add more as needed.

Pro tip: The back of a large spoon works great for patting the crust down – just make sure to form the edges too – you don’t want an extra thick bit of crust in the pie crease.

Bake and let cool completely

After the short 12 minute bake time, the next important step happens… the cooling step. Make sure to cool the crust completely before filling it. If time allows, make the crust a day ahead of time, wrap it well and store it at room temperature. Most important, do not fill a warm crust! It will make for a mushy pie.

Storage

This pie crust is so easy to make ahead of time. Make a couple and pat them out into foil pans and stick the baked crusts in the freezer for using any time.
