But back to pie crusts –most people think a simple press in, no-roll crust is far easier to work with.
How to Blind Bake a Pie Crust
Are you wondering how to blind bake a pie crust?
Blind baking is quite simple, all it means is to bake the pie without the filling.
This technique is great if you want the crust to set and stay firm.
Pie Crust Blind Bake
If you’re using this crust to make my Paleo Pumpkin Pie blind bake it for 10 minutes, then bake it again along with the filling.
For my Vegan Pumpkin Pie, and other no-bake custard fillings that firm in the refrigerator, bake this Gluten Free Pie Crust as directed above, until golden brown.
Let it cool and set for a couple of hours prior to filling it.
I often bake it the night before.
Low-Carb Pie Crust
This is not a low-carb pie crust.
It’s made with arrowroot flour which is composed entirely of carbohydrates.
All you need to make this incredible crust is almond flour, butter, egg, and salt. Almond flour is hands down the best low-carb flour.
Pie Crust Graham Cracker
If you’re looking for a graham cracker style crust, my Pecan Pie Crust brings a nutty flavor to the table.
Our favorite filling for this four ingredient crust is apples.

Below are the best healthy pie recipes using my two favorite crusts –my Gluten Free Pie Crust above, and my Almond Flour Pie Crust.
Recipe for Chocolate Pecan Pie
My Chocolate Pecan Pie isn’t just for Thanksgiving, you can find it on our table year-round.
With only five ingredients in the filling (eggs, coconut sugar, coconut oil, chocolate chips, and pecans), you’ll love how easy this pie is to throw together.
I’ve made Chocolate Pecan Pie in my Gluten Free Pie Crust and Almond Flour Pie Crust and it works incredibly well in both.
Truth be told? My family goes gaga for it in the former, saying it tastes like pie filling nestled in cookies!
It contains freshly roasted pumpkin, healthy fat from coconut, and a hint of maple syrup, though I’ve made the pie without that sweetener and it’s just as amazing.
Vegan and no-bake? It couldn’t be easier! I’m all about saving oven space on Thanksgiving and other holidays.
