Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Almonds or walnuts (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold and diced)
• 3 tablespoons Ice water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Place the rolled oats in a food processor and pulse several times until they have a coarse, flour-like consistency.

Step 3

Add the chopped almonds or walnuts, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt to the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 4

Add the cold, diced butter into the food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Add one tablespoon of ice water at a time, pulsing the mixture after each addition, until the dough begins to come together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a clean work surface and gently press it together into a ball. Flatten it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for 15-20 minutes.

Step 7

Once chilled, press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring the bottom and sides are fully covered.

Step 8

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before adding your filling.
