Serves: 10 mini pie crusts or 1 full-size pie base
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ Tablespoon coconut sugar (or sub cane sugar)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup + 3 Tablespoons coconut oil, soft (not hard or liquid)
  • ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons cold water
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, salt, coconut sugar and baking powder together to combine.
  2. If your coconut oil is hard, soften a bit in 10 second intervals in microwave. (Stir between to keep from completely melting. There should be no liquid, only soft to touch.)
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk coconut oil and cold water together.
  4. Pour liquid into dry and use a large fork to combine until dough forms.
  5. Use hands to form a large ball.
  6. Flour a large clean surface and flour a rolling pin.
  7. Roll out dough into roughly ¼ inch thick crust.
  8. TO MAKE FULL-SIZE PIE: Place crust into greased 9-inch round pie dish. Pinch edges and press around the top with thumb to create a wavy texture.
  9. Fill with whatever filling you want and bake according to instructions.
  10. TO MAKE MINI PIES: Cut roughly 4 inch (in diameter) circles out of rolled out dough.
  11. Grease a muffin tin and carefully place each crust round into each cup.
  12. Note: If dough begins to melt from handling it too much, place in refrigerator for a few minutes to harden.
  13. Fill each crust with filling and bake according to instructions.
  14. Cool before carefully removing from muffin tin.
Notes
* If you want a top crust for your pie, simply use double the ingredients, then separate the dough into 2 balls and roll out separately.
