INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour & ground flaxseed together. Then slowly mix in the water & maple syrup, and combine into a ball with your hands.
Press the dough into the bottom & sides of a pie plate to make about a 1/4 inch thick crust. Use a fork to poke some holes in the bottom.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes.
Add all the pie filling ingredients to a food processor or blender, and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Remove pie crust from the oven and pour the pie filling mixture into the crust.
Bake for 45 minutes. Watch the crust the last 10-15 minutes and add a pie crust shield or foil strips around the edges, if it looks like it's getting too brown.
Remove from oven & let cool on the counter for 15 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to chill for a few hours – it will firm up more!
