Equipment

1 9-inch round pie or tart pan
1 food processor

Ingredients

1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw pecans
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder *cocoa powder can work, too
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup melted and slightly cooled coconut oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

Grease a 9-inch round tart pan or pie pan with coconut oil.
To make the crust place the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until a sticky and coarse crumble forms. This includes whole almonds, whole pecans, cacao powder, and salt. Transfer this mixture to a medium bowl and stir in maple syrup and melted coconut oil. *Make sure your coconut oil has cooled for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to the pie dish. Use the back of a spatula, wax paper, or your hands to spread it out into one even layer.
Complete the pie by adding your favorite pie filling, chilling and then enjoy!

Notes

To keep the pie crust fresh, place the pie in an airtight container and in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Don't over-pulse. You don't want your nuts turning into nut butter. LOL.

For best results, use fresh, high-quality nuts. It really does make a difference.
