Roll Out Flaky Keto Pie Crust Recipe
We have a roll out flaky pie crust that has been tested and approved just in time for the holidays! This recipe makes 2 8-inch pie crusts! You can bake the pie crusts ahead of time and fill them as needed or you can make them ahead of time and freeze them too.
Here’s a tip when making this pie crust. It needs to be really cold. Don’t skip the step where you chill the dough. This pie crust has a lot of butter in it which needs to be chilled. If not, it will become too sticky. We love to use this recipe for our pumpkin pie or this Apple Pie filling in this Apple Pie Taco Churro recipe we made earlier.
Flaky Pie Crust
- 12 tbs butter
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 2 tbs Psyllium husk
- 2 tbs tapioca starch (read the note below)
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
NOTE: The tapioca starch is only 2 tbs and a very low amount of carbohydrates. You can leave this out if you are very strict keto but if you are low carb, this ingredient is what makes this crust flaky!
Roll Out Pie Flaky Keto Crust Recipe Instructions

Question-after filling the baked crust can you bake it again? For example, pumpkin pie needs to be baked about 40 minutes, is this crust able to withstand that? Definitely going to try this recipe, thanks!
Yes! I would add a pie crust protector or a thin piece of aluminum foil around the edges to protect the crust.
Can you use for two crust pie, like apple or cherry?
Absolutely!
Turned out wonderfully soft and flakey!! Pleasantly surprised. you can’t taste the almond flavor of the flour like you can in so many other recipes. Used this for a covered apple pie; only pre-baked the bottom crust, then filled it, and baked the top crust with the rest of the pie (about 50 minutes total) and it was delicious!
Well round 2 was much better – definitely needed the support of the parchment paper to get the rolled dough safely to the pan. I forgot to pierce the bottom so we’ll see what that deliver. Now I have 2 baked and am looking for the perfect filling! ♥️
