Ingredients
Pastry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups Blanched almond flour
- 1 tbls Coconut flour
- 1 Large Large cold egg
- 5 tsp Ice water
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
- 3 1/2 tbls Palm shortening

Instructions
Pastry Directions
- Preheat Oven to 315
- Place the first five ingredients in a food processor and process for 30 seconds. Add the shortening in small amounts, spacing it around the bowl. Pulse 4 or 5 times. You may need to manually mash it in to blend completely.
- Press the dough into the pie pan and up the sides. BUT only press is up to the top, and not around the top rim. Save some pastry in the refrigerator for the rim. When you add the filling, you can add the rim. Otherwise, the rim will bake twice.
- Once you have the pastry pressed in the pan, cut parchment paper in a circle, then weigh it down. You can use another baking pan that fits in, or pie weights.
- Bake until the edges turn golden. About 10 minutes. Remove the paper, and weights. Bake for five more minutes.
Filling Directions
- Combine the ingredients and set aside.
- Take the remaining pastry from the refrigerator, and add it to the rim of your pie pan. Then put your filling in the pre-baked crust.
- If you're adding a pastry top, do it now.
- Bake for another 15 minutes at 325.
Notes
It's really a joke at this point all the requirements I have for eating, but I've honestly never felt better so I don't care. This recipe is gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and low-glycemic. Oh, and organic of course. Irritating to some I know, but once you start eating this way, it's impossible to go back because of how much better you feel.
