Easy and Healthy Pie Crust

I love pies.  The ones with butter crusts taste amazing but are a huge sidetrack to my diet.  Well it's not a concern anymore!  Here is a healthy and easy crust recipe I use for any dessert and pot pies!



Crust:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (optional, white whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup oat flour
1 TBSP coconut sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup Cold Coconut oil (optional, organic pure unsalted butter)
Ice cold Water

Crust directions:
Make the crust by combining the wheat flour with the oat flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.  Add the coconut oil or butter and work it through the flour mixture with your hands until it's crumbly.
Slowly add ice water, about 2 TBSP at a time, until you have a stiff dough.  Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about a half hour.
Roll the pie crust out, lightly flouring the dough and work surface. Carefully lay the dough in your pie pan.
