Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I always love the warmth that fills my kitchen as it heats up, bringing with it the promise of deliciousness. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and Erythritol. Mix these ingredients until they form a nice crumbly texture. You can use a fork or even your hands—whatever works best for you! Pack this mixture into the bottom of your baking dish to form a crust. It should feel firm but crumbly, like a perfect pie crust.
