3.Bring all the ingredients together. Rub the coconut oil with fingers and make sure it mixes well. Use water if required.
4.Take some of the dough and spread it evenly on a pie tin.
5.Poke some holes using fork on the crust layer. This is to prevent the crust layer from bubbling.
6.Bake them in a pre-heated oven at 170 degree C for 18-20 minutes. The crust should have a golden tinge.
