Directions

Crust

Step 1

Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour and salt. Cut the shortening and butter into the flour mixture until crumbly.
Step 2

Add the cold water and mix together until soft dough forms. Form the dough into a flat disk.
Step 3

Transfer the dough to an 8-inch pie pan and press it into the bottom and sides of the pan. Crimp the edges. With a fork, prick the bottom of the crust a few times. Set aside until ready to use.

Filling

Step 1

Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 425°.
Step 2

In a bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients and with a hand mixer, mix at medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350° and bake for 45 to 50 minute, or until the crust is golden.
Step 4

Remove from over and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve topped with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, if desired.
