Coconut Oil Pie Crust

3.3
(4)

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!

Yield:
2 pie crusts

Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup refined coconut oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 5 tablespoons ice cold water, or as needed

Directions

  1. Combine flour, coconut oil, and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined.

  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.

  3. Using your hands, pat dough to shape into a ball. Cut in half for 2 pie crusts.

  4. Flour a work surface and rolling pin and roll out dough.

  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.

If using both crusts, cut slits on the top crust to vent the pie.
