Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine the oats and almonds and grind to a coarse powder.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the flour and mix well.
• Drizzle on the oil and incorporate it with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Sprinkle in enough of the water (mixing it lightly with a fork) to moisten all the flour and make a dough that you can form into a ball.
• Flatten the dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick On a lightly floured board or a sheet of waxed paper, roll the dough into a thin (about 1/8 inch) circle about 11 inches diameter.
• Line a 9-inch pie pan with the dough and trim the edges to leave a 1/2-inch overhang all around.
• Use the overhang to form a fluted edge.
• Place the crust in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
• Fill the shell and bake it according to the directions of your specific recipe.
• *To bake the crust without a filling; Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Line the prepared pie crust with aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes.
• Remove it from the oven and discard the foil.
• Bake for 7 minutes.
• Let the crust cool before filling.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar. Cut in the shortening by pinching between your fingers or using a pastry blender, until the mixture has lumps no larger than peas. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, water, vanilla, and almond extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into halves, pat into a ball, and flatten slightly. Wrap each one in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight before rolling out to make a crust.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.
• Combine almond meal, sugar, and salt (if using) in a small bowl. Pour in melted butter and stir till just combined. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 10" springform pan (or muffin tins, depending on what you're making).
• Bake crust for 10-15 minutes, till golden. Cool completely before filling.

Steps:

• Make the crust:
• In a bowl combine well the crumbs, the almonds, the butter, and the sugar, press the mixture onto the bottom and side of a 10-inch pie plate, and bake the shell in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 minutes, or until it is browned lightly. Let the shell cool on a rack.
• In a large bowl beat the yolks with the condensed milk and stir in the lime juice, a little at a time, stirring to combine the filling well. Spoon the filling into the shell and chill the pie for 1 hour. In a bowl beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold soft peaks, add the sugar, beating, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat the meringue until it holds stiff peaks. Spread the meringue over the filling and bake the pie in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until the meringue is just golden. Chill the pie for 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.

• Using your fingers, press mixture against the bottom and sides of a 9 inch glass pie plate.
• Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Blend flour, almonds, sugar and salt in processor until nuts are finely ground. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in almond extract and enough water to form moist clumps. Knead dough briefly on work surface to combine; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm before rolling, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
