This basic pie crust is flaky, buttery, and sweetened with powdered honey, which contributes to its fantastic texture. Maple sugar can also be used in this recipe in place of honey.

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a food processor, pour the flour, powdered honey, and salt. Mix together.
   
2. Add the diced butter and pulse until mixture starts forming into pea-size crumbs.
   
3. Add the ice cold water while pulsing the mixture until the dough comes together. Add enough water so the dough isn’t crumbly, but do not exceed 3 tablespoons or the dough will be sticky.
   
4. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to be used in any pie or tart recipe. Bake for 30 minutes covered with tin foil, remove foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until crust is golden or fill and bake as suggested in the pie or tart recipe being used.

Silky pumpkin pie is loaded with sweet spices and coconut sugar. Coconut sugar blends flawlessly into the filling for a smooth rich pie that doesn’t taste sugar-free in the slightest. Try it with whipped cream.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Press pie crust dough into a 9" pie plate.
   
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together pumpkin and cream cheese with an electric mixer. Beat until well combined and smooth. Add the coconut sugar, salt, eggs, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice and beat until well incorporated.
   
3. Pour filling into prepared crust and bake for 50–60 minutes or until pie is set. Cover with foil halfway through baking if it begins browning too quickly. The middle may be a little wiggly when done, but it will firm as it cools. Top with Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream, if desired.
