Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

• 2 1/2 cups pecans, ground
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 1/4 cup granular Swerve (See note)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted grass-fed butter, melted

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Stir together the ground pecans, cinnamon, and granular Swerve.
2. Pour in the melted butter and toss the ingredients to combine them thoroughly.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9″ deep-dish pie pan or springform pan.
4. Chill the unbaked crust in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
6. Place the pie crust on a cookie sheet and position on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Watch it closely, because nut crusts tend to burn easily, and taste burnt even when they are not black!
7. Take the crust out of the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before filling.

Notes

I don’t like a terribly sweet pie crust. I suggest you taste the ingredients before pressing into the pie pan and adjust the sweetening to your own personal taste.

VARIATIONS
For Vegan or Dairy-Free pie crusts, replace the butter with coconut oil.

For Paleo or Primal crusts, replace the Swerve with finally ground coconut sugar.
