Nutty Pie Crust
Makes one 9 inch bottom pie crust
1 ⅓ cups ground nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, and/or macadamia nuts)
⅔ cup ground golden flaxseeds
6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together the nuts, flaxseeds, butter until well blended.
2. Press into a 9” pie plate.
3. To pre-bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Cover the pie crust with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, turn the pie plate, and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the crust is golden and no longer moist to the touch.
