Sounds good.
You can make a crust with ground nuts of your choice and nut butter, press into pie shell and bake.
Yes, you can make a crust using nut meal, such as almond flour, add oil to it, such as almond oil. I will sometimes add some rolled oats to that as well, and it does make a nice crust. good idea!
