Description

Are you tired of traditional pie crusts that are loaded with unhealthy ingredients? Look no further than this healthy pie crust recipe, which uses only wholesome ingredients to make a deliciously flaky crust that won't leave you feeling guilty.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2-3 tablespoons water

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rolling pin
  • 9-inch pie dish

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder.
  3. Add in the melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and honey. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is not crumbly.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Place the rolled-out dough into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the corners and edges.
  7. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely before filling with your favorite pie filling.

Notes

  • This crust is best used for sweet pies, but can also be used for savory pies if you omit the honey.
  • For an extra crispy crust, brush the top with an egg wash before baking.
  • If the dough is too crumbly, add more water one teaspoon at a time until it comes together.
