Oat Almond Pie Crust


The oats and almonds add crunch to the crust.

Steps


In a blender or food processor , combine the oats and almonds and grind to a coarse powder.
Transfer to a large bowl.
Add the flour and mix well.
Drizzle on the oil and incorporate it with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Sprinkle in enough of the water to moisten all the flour and make a dough that you can form into a ball.
Flatten the dough into a circle about 1 / 2-inch thick on a lightly floured board or a sheet of waxed paper , roll the dough into a thin circle about 11 inches diameter.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with the dough and trim the edges to leave a 1 / 2-inch overhang all around.
Use the overhang to form a fluted edge.
Place the crust in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
Fill the shell and bake it according to the directions of your specific recipe.
To bake the crust without a filling.
Preheat the oven to 425f.
Line the prepared pie crust with aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes.
