Pie crust is one of those recipes where store-bought shortcuts are tempting ā until you flip the box over and find a list of sweeteners and additives you weren't expecting. This version keeps things clean and straightforward, built entirely from almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut oil, and egg, with just a touch of optional maple syrup if you want a hint of natural sweetness. The result is a tender, slightly nutty crust that holds its shape beautifully whether you're blind-baking it for a no-bake filling or going straight into the oven with your favorite pie. Chilling the pressed dough before baking is the key step that keeps the edges crisp and the bottom from puffing up. It works just as well for sweet pies as it does for savory quiches, making it genuinely versatile. Once you see how easy it is to press the dough directly into the dish ā no rolling pin, no flour-dusted counter ā you'll wonder why you ever stressed about pie crust in the first place.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the melted coconut oil, egg, and maple syrup (if using) to the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until a cohesive dough forms ā it should hold together when pressed between your fingers without crumbling.
