For the Crust:
 2 cups almond meal / flour (available in bulk bins)
 1 egg
 2 tbsp coconut oil
 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
 ¼ tsp fine-ground sea salt
For the Filling:
 15 oz pumpkin puree (fresh or canned) - NOT pie mix
 3 eggs
  cup full-fat canned coconut milk
 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  cup pure maple syrup
 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 ½ tsp ground nutmeg
 ¼ tsp ground ginger
  tsp ground cloves

2

In a food processor or blender, combine all crust ingredients. Pulse for about 5-10 seconds, or until combined.

3

Transfer to pie plate and spread out with your hands, not pressing to hard in any one spot (to prevent it from sticking to the pie plate). It's ok if it only comes half-way up the sides of the dish.

Lightly place a piece of foil on top and bake for 15 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:

While the crust is baking, combine all filling ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth and combined.
