This is a butter/shortening-free pie crust. It is a bit healthier and just as tasty, flaky and buttery tasting. This makes 2 crusts and works for both sweet or savory pies. Just add 1 teaspoon sugar if you’re making a sweet pie. Make sure to use refined coconut oil to hide the coconut taste. Unless of course you will use this for a coconut pie!
Ingredients
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup refined coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons ice cold water, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Combine flour, coconut oil, and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined.
Step 2
Add 5 tablespoons ice cold water and pulse. With the food processor running at low speed, add 1 additional tablespoon of water at a time until a dough forms.
Step 3
Using your hands, pat dough to shape into a ball. Cut in half for 2 pie crusts.
Step 4
Flour a work surface and rolling pin and roll out dough.
Step 5
Bake as directed for any pie recipe you are following.
Cook’s Notes:
If using only one bottom crust dock it (poke holes in it with a fork) and pre-bake it according to your pie instructions.
