• Next, add the cold water and blend until the dough comes together.

• Take a piece of plastic wrap and lay on the counter. Gather pie dough in to one or two balls, depending of how many crusts you are making. Flatten to a round disc and wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour. After the curst is made you can freeze dough for up to 2 months.

• Take dough out and place on a piece of parchment paper. Now cover with another piece of parchment and roll in to a circle that is larger than the pie pan.

• Finally, place the dough in pie pan and press any cracks together if needed. Bake crust for 10 minutes before filling. This prevents the crust from getting overcooked.

This is a really simple paleo pie dough that comes together very fast. The recipe makes enough to make two pie crusts or one large crust.
