How to Make Gluten Free Nutty Pie Crust!
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Mix oil, honey, then add arrowroot powder, flour and cinnamon. Mix in in ground nuts and seeds.
- Press the crust onto bottom and sides of lightly oiled pie pan, but not on upper flat rim of pan.
- For baked Pies, bake crust 3 to 5 minutes, then allow it to cool 5 to 10 minutes.
- Scoop Filling into crust and baked according to recipe.
- For No-Bake Pies, bake the crust 9 to 14 minutes or until firm. Cool.
- Scoop pie filling and chill. Sprinkle extra ground nuts on top of filling for a decorative effect for added flavor.
- Baker's Note: Amaranth Flour can be replaced with "buckwheat flour, millet, or rice flour". This will slightly change the flavor and color of the crust.
- Baker's Note 2: Arrowroot powder can be replaced with Cornstarch.
- Baker's Note 3: ground nuts and seeds, such as Almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin, flaxseeds or any combination.
