Notes
Which Crust To Use?
There’s a few options you can use for the crust. I love them all but I think I’m loving the nut one these days.
Nut Crust – I use pecans, maple syrup, coconut sugar, real vanilla and salt. It makes a crunchy crust and if you’re
Graham Cracker Crust – This is probably more of what most people would be using. You can find healthier graham crackers or make your own. I don’t use the white sugar so I aim for one of these options.
Flaky Pie Crust – I take my soft white wheat and make a yummy flaky crust from this. Using whole grains in the crust will give you more vital nutrients, protein and fiber. It tastes yummy!
