This is my go-to, standby raw pie crust. I like this recipe even better than carob or cacoa crusts. Some people call this recipe a “shortbread” pie crust recipe, and that’s a great analogy. That salty sweetness takes me back to my childhood!

The Rawtarian’s Thoughts

Raw pie crusts are an integral part of your raw recipe arsenal!

I just love this raw pie crust recipe. I mean, four ingredients and the taste of this raw pie crust is to die live for! I wouldn’t change a thing about this one. The flavors and measurements are perfect, IMO.

This raw pie crust recipe is my go-to, standby raw pie crust. I like this recipe even better than carob or cacoa crusts. I have heard some people call this recipe a “shortbread” recipe, and this one raw pie crust recipe does remind me of shortbread… that salty sweetness takes me back to my childhood!

It is so simple and you can whip it up in a flash with some pretty basic ingredients. It also presses down very easily into a pie plate.

This recipe makes enough for one pie crust. You can top this crust with anything you like. I prefer topping this raw pie crust with thawed rasberries and other wet berries. I often keep the crust on its own, and I don’t top it until we’re ready to eat it to avoid the crust getting soggy. (I hate soggy pie crusts!!)
