I’m famous for my pies. Seriously though, it’s a thing. I don’t know how it happened, but I’ve been blessed with the ability to make some of the best damn pie you’ll ever taste. Double Chocolate Pecan, Blueberry, Apple, you name it I make it.
I think part of it is the amazing pie crust recipe my mom passed down to me from her mom. Now that I’m Paleo/low FODMAP in order to properly manage my SIBO, I haven’t really been making my famous pies and frankly this year I freakin miss them.
I’ve realized that’s really just hurting everyone around me and I’m clearly being super selfish so I got to work and crafted up this recipe that can be used in both sweet & savory recipes requiring a crust. Think everything from blueberry pie to chicken pot pie + quiche.
Pro-Tip: Definitely use a food processor here! It makes the process much easier, less messy, and leaves for less manual work (which is always nice in the kitchen!)

What's Paleo flour? I had to abandon almond flour due to its high oxalates...so now I'm experimenting a bit with sunflower flour. This whole Paleo/low fodmap is super challenging but my body has left me no other choices. *sigh*

Hi there! I use Bob's Red Mill Paleo Flour Blend, it's a blend of grain and gluten free flours, however it does contain almond flour. Do you do well with gluten free flours or do you prefer to stay grain free? If you tolerate gluten free flour, the Bob's Red Mill 1:1 flour is a wonderful substitute for the almond and paleo flours. If you prefer to stay grain free you can try using 1 1/2 cups of Cassava flour and 1/2 cup of tapioca flour or arrowroot instead!
