Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat the oven to 400 F. Have an 8-inch pie pan at the ready.
- In a medium bowl, cut the shortening or butter into the gluten-free flour until crumbly.
- Add the cold water and use your hands to work the dough until soft. The mixture will be crumbly at first but will slowly come together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a single ball.
- Place the dough in an 8-inch pie pan and press it into the bottom and sides. You can use the back of a spoon, a fork, or even your fingers. Alternatively, you can roll out the dough , line the pan with the rolled-out dough and crimp the edges.
- Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust a few times. This allows steam to escape as needed and helps to ensure that your pie will bake evenly and smoothly.
- Place your prepared pie crust in the heated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the pie crust are golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before adding pie filling.

Steps:
- Stir together ground nuts, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix in melted butter.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch, deep-dish style, pie pan. Chill the unbaked crust in the refrigerator for about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Place pie crust on a cookie sheet, and position on the middle rack of a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. WATCH it carefully, as nut crusts burn easily; they DON'T have to turn black to taste burnt! Cool completely before filling.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily grind the nuts into a fine meal.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a rolling pin to crush the nuts.
- Make sure the butter is cold before you add it to the nut mixture. This will help the crust to hold together better.
- Work the dough quickly to avoid overworking it. Overworked dough will be tough and crumbly.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and prevent it from cracking.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid pressing down too hard. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
- If the dough starts to stick, sprinkle it with a little bit of flour.
- Bake the crust at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust.
