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.
