Perfect Coconut Oil Pie Crust

Step 1

Add flour, salt and sugar (if using) to a food processor and blend until just mixed.

Step 2

Next, add the coconut oil and turn on the food processor and start adding tablespoons of ice cold water until a dough is formed.  I used about 8 but it will depend on your dough so add slowly and stop the food processor to check consistency if needed.

Step 3

Dump out the pie dough on a floured cutting board and use your hands to form into a ball.  Cut in half and dough is ready to be used immediately.

Step 4

To use immediately: roll out dough do your desired consistency and then carefully place in a pie pan.  Press down and cut off any excess dough, fill pie and then top with second pie crust, if desired. Bake according to pie directions.

Step 5

If you would like to save the dough for use later: form each half into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. You can refrigerate the dough for up to one week and can be frozen up to 3 months.

Step 6

Before using, let dough sit at room temperature until softened.
