Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almonds (or walnuts/pecans)
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the rolled oats and nuts. Pulse until the mixture reaches a coarse, sand-like texture. Be careful not to over-process; you want some texture to remain.
Step 3
Add the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt to the oat and nut mixture in the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine evenly.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and pour in the melted butter. Stir thoroughly until the mixture begins to clump together.
Step 5
Drizzle cold water into the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition until the dough holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Step 6
Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring the base and sides are covered and compact. Use the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup to smooth it out.
Step 7
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before filling it with your desired pie filling.
