Ingredients
  

Keto Pie Crust

  • Almond flour – 2½ cups 250 g
  • Coconut flour – ⅓ cup 40 g
  • Butter melted – ⅓ cup (75 g)
  • Eggs – 2 large
  • Salt – ½ teaspoon
  • Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Apple cider vinegar optional, for texture – 2 tablespoons

Meat Filling

  • Ground meat beef, turkey, or chicken – 1 lb (450 g)
  • Onion finely diced – 1 small (about ½ cup)
  • Garlic minced – 2 cloves
  • Olive oil or butter for cooking – 1 tablespoon

Seasonings

  • Salt – ¾ teaspoon adjust to taste
  • Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
  • Paprika – ½ teaspoon
  • Dried thyme or oregano – ½ teaspoon
  • Chili flakes optional – ¼ teaspoon

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the melted butter and eggs, then mix until a soft, cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels sticky or too soft to handle, cover it and let it rest in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes. This resting time allows the coconut flour to absorb moisture and makes the dough easier to roll and shape.
  • While the dough is resting, prepare the meat filling. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Add the finely diced onion and cook until soft and lightly translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 20–30 seconds until fragrant. Add the ground meat and seasonings, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until the meat is fully browned and no longer pink, then remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly. Cooling prevents the dough from softening when assembled.
  • Once the dough has rested, divide it into equal portions. Place each portion between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a circle about ⅛ inch thick. Don’t worry if the edges aren’t perfectly round—rustic edges bake up beautifully and won’t affect the final result.
  • Spoon a portion of the cooled meat filling into the center of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edges. Be careful not to overfill, as too much filling can cause the pies to split during baking.
  • Gently fold the dough over the filling or place a second rolled piece of dough on top to create a sealed pie. Press the edges together using your fingers or a fork to seal completely. If desired, brush the tops lightly with beaten egg to encourage a golden, glossy finish.
  • Transfer the assembled pies to a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the crust is firm and lightly golden on the outside.
  • Remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. This short resting time helps the filling set and makes the pies easier to handle, resulting in clean bites and the best texture.
