Carrageenan Free Almond Flour Pie Crust

Carrageenan shows up in a surprising number of store-bought pie crusts and refrigerated dough products, often tucked into ingredient lists as a thickener or stabilizer — which makes homemade the smartest move for anyone avoiding it. This crust skips all of that entirely, relying on just almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut oil, and an egg to build something genuinely delicious from scratch. The result is a tender, slightly nutty shell with golden edges that holds its shape beautifully whether you blind-bake it ahead of time or fill it raw and let it bake alongside a custard or fruit filling. Pressing the dough directly into the dish means no rolling pin, no mess, and no stress — just a clean, even crust that comes together fast. A touch of maple syrup in the mix adds the faintest hint of sweetness that plays nicely with both savory and sweet fillings. Chilling the shaped crust before baking is the key step that keeps the edges from slumping, so don't skip the refrigerator rest. Whether you're making a holiday pie or a simple weeknight tart, this crust delivers real from-scratch satisfaction with a very short ingredient list.
