Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Whisk the coconut oil into the dry mixture until coarse crumbs form. You can alternatively use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the coconut oil into the dry mixture.

Step 3

Add the cold water and stir until it comes together into a dough, bringing it together with your hands when needed. If the dough is too dry, splash in a little more water. In dryer climates, you might need up to 6 tablespoons of water. Just make sure it is cold. The dough should be workable, but not sticky.

Step 4

Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 5

Fill the pie and bake as directed. If you need a pre-baked crust, use the Blind Bake Option below.
