Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup almond flour

1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced

1 tbsp granulated sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup ice water

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt.

2. Add chilled, diced butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mix resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Stir in apple cider vinegar and gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough holds together when pinched.

4. Divide dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

5. Roll out one dough disc on a floured surface to fit your pie pan, and then gently place it into the pan, trimming any excess.

6. For a pre-baked crust, preheat the oven to 375°F, line the crust with parchment paper, fill with pie weights, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and paper, continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown.

7. Allow to cool before filling with your favorite pie filling.

Storage

Store unbaked dough wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheating

To reheat pre-baked crust, place in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
