CEREAL PIE CRUST



Cereal Pie Crust image

I didn't have any graham crackers so I decided to see what else I could use to make the crust. Who knew you could make a pie crust with cereal? I made mine with Captain Crunch. How fun is that! Recipe courtesy of The Joy of Cooking. Serving size is estimated.

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 cups breakfast cereal (flaked or puffed)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar (omit if the cereal if presweetened)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Roll or grind the breakfast cereal. There should be 1 1/2 cups after crushing.
  • Combine with the melted butter, sugar (if using), and cinnamon.
  • An easy way to form the crust is after mixing to press another pie pan of the same diameter firmly into the dough. When the top pan is removed a crust of even thickness is underneath.
  • Trim any excess that is forced to the top edge.
  • Crumb crusts need not be baked before filling, but if used unbaked, must be first chilled thoroughly or the filling will immediately disintegrate the crust.
  • If baked before filling, they require a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. It is best to cool the empty baked shell before filling.
  • Fill a prebaked shell with chiffon fillings, bavarian creams, or gelatin whips topped with sweetened whipped cream, or with custard or fruit filling, which may be covered with a high meringue.
