Today is Friday and I’m pretty tried. I decided to sit on the couch… which turned into laying on the couch… and I just kept muttering to myself… Friday… tired.. I deserve it…
But then, like a lightening bolt shooting through my spine I jumped up. PIEEESS I forgot the last of my piesss. I forgot to type up the last of my pie blogs for you guys! How could I?!
Luckily the sudden jolt of needing to write a blog post pumped enough energy in my veins to get the creative juices flowing. Aaand I still have this idea that maybe if I finish typing this up, I’ll still have time to lounge on the couch before I have to pick up the kiddos.
Ok with all the pie happening around here, I feel like I’ve covered most of my bases. Sure we’ve got the traditional pumpkin and apple and pecan. We have the fun chocolatey ganache and blueberry crumbles. In all the pie fun around here, I started craving a sweet red berry.
After debating back and forth between raspberry and strawberry, I eventually enthusiastically committed to raspberry because I have a frozen strawberry whip pie AND a strawberry tart already on the blog and thought raspberry needed some love.
So let’s do this, raspberry!!
Place the pecans, almond flour, sea salt, and coconut sugar in the food processor. Process for a few seconds to combine and chop the pecans a bit. Add the ghee, almond butter, and vanilla. Process again to combine. If needed, scrape down the sides and process for another couple seconds.
If the crust batter doesn’t ball up, add 2 tablespoons of water and process again until things start to stick together. Set aside.
Pour the water and coconut sugar into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add 2 cups of the raspberries and chia seeds and continue to boil for another 5 – 7 minutes until the raspberries reduce and the filling becomes syrupy.
Press the crumble into the bottom of your pie pan. You may need damp hands, but press it into the bottom and up the sides. Pour the raspberry filling into the center.

Yummy! And easy. Not too sweet.
We are at a second home and I was not sure I had everything I needed, utensil-wise. BUT I did. Quite easy to make.
I had a small pie dish (maybe 8.5” inside diameter) and had plenty of crust. It was at least 1/2” thick so, a larger pie dish would also work. I could have gone for more filling so I may increase it slightly next time.
Love the nutty, crunchy crust!
