Question:

Does the pie crust recipe with frozen almond butter taste like almonds? Will it affect the taste of whatever filling?

— Renee *Randy* White

Answer:

I personally find that between cashew butter and almond butter, that almond butter has a more neutral taste. To me, cashew butter tastes very sweet, however, I have used it in pie crust and it tastes virtually the same. It's not, you're not going to use any almond extracts or anything like that. Remember that you've got vanilla and let's say if it's a, an apple pie, you've got some vanilla and some fresh fruit and maybe a little maple syrup to help sweeten it up a little bit. Uh, I say try it out and see how you like it and, uh, it works. But I'm gonna say that, uh, it's a little bit of practice, a little bit of practice because it's a new way of cooking. So I think that's good.
