Ingredients

For the Low-Carb Crust

  • 1½ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or another suitable granulated sweetener
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons cold water, if needed

For the Peach Filling

  • 4 cups fresh peaches, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol or monk-fruit sweetener, adjusted to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Top

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, optional

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust:
    Combine almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed, sweetener, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the wet ingredients:
    Mix in the egg and vanilla. Add cold water, one teaspoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  3. Chill:
    Form the dough into a ball, divide it into two portions, wrap, and refrigerate for 30–45 minutes.
  4. Prepare the filling:
    Add sliced peaches to a bowl with lemon juice, sweetener, chia seeds, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt. Toss gently and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  5. Build the pie:
    Press one portion of dough into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides. Pour in the peach filling.
  6. Create the lattice:
    Roll out the remaining dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Cut it into strips and arrange them over the peaches in a lattice pattern.
  7. Egg wash:
    Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water and lightly brush it over the crust. Sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired.
  8. Bake:
    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 40–50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the peach filling is bubbling.
  9. Cool completely:
    Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing so the filling can set.

💡 To Keep It More Diabetes-Friendly

  • Use fresh peaches rather than canned peaches in syrup.
  • Don’t add regular sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • Keep the serving to about 1 small slice.
  • Serve with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt instead of ice cream.
  • Almond flour and flaxseed add more fiber and fat than a traditional white-flour crust.
