Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Add the almond flour, oat fiber, sweetener and xanthan gum to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined.
Add in the cold cubes of butter and cream cheese, then pulse just until you get coarse crumbs.
Add in the beaten egg and mix until combined and the dough just starts to clump together. Do not overmix because the heat from the blade will melt the butter and cream cheese. You want those little bits to stay intact until you bake the crust.
Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, cover and form a disk, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight before rolling it out. The dough should be easy to handle and not too sticky.
When you are ready to use the dough, place it between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin, to the diameter of your pie dish. This dough is easy to work with, so if it tears, you can easily press it back into shape.
Fold the edges back and you can either leave the crust as is, or crimp the edges using your fingers. Take a fork and prick all over the bottom of the crust. This will prevent the crust from puffing up when it bakes.
Bake on the center rack in your oven for 15-18 minutes if your filling does not need baking. If it does, you will only need to bake it for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how long you will be baking with the filling.

Notes

If you can't find allulose, you can substitute with 3 tablespoons of Swerve, erythritol or monk fruit.
If you don't plan on using the pie crust right away, you can store it in the fridge up to 3 days.
If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pasty cutting tool to blend the butter and cream cheese into the mixture.
To use this same dough recipe for savory dishes, just omit the sweetener and add in any other spices or herbs that are in the dish you're making.
Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
