    Gluten Free Walnut Pie Crust

    Naturally Gluten Free Walnut Pie Crust adds a delicious unexpected nutty flavor to traditional pies and desserts!

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    The nutty richness of this easy, press-in walnut crust compliments the warm fall spices and rich pumpkin perfectly.

    Since walnuts are naturally rich in oil, they need only a bit of sugar and butter to become a beautifully crisp, sturdy crust to hold up to the pumpkin filling. Similar to a graham cracker crust, just pulse ingredients in a food processor until combined and press in pie plate.

    Ingredients

    This gluten free nut crust recipe is made simply without eggs or any fancy ingredients. Simply nuts, butter, sugar and spices.

    • Raw walnuts
    • Unsalted butter
    • Brown Sugar
    • Cinnamon powder
    • Salt

    How to use

    Use this press in nut crust in place of any other press in crust. In pies, tarts, sheet pan desserts and more!

    How to store

    Once baked walnut pie crust can be stored covered at room temperature up to 24 hours. Or, wrap tightly and freeze baked crust for up to two months. Defrost at room temperature then use as directed.
