PECAN GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST



Pecan Graham Cracker Crust image

This crust is fantastic! You can use this for almost any pie, just use your imagination! The dates really add something, not only in the crust, but in the whole pie. You can use different nuts, but please try the pecans first. This is a rather healthy crust, for us who are into healthy heating.

NUT CRUST



Nut Crust image

If you have a recipe that calls for a graham-cracker crust, and you don't have the ingredients to make one or just want to try something that's not only simpler but much tastier--try this. Straight from Joy of Cooking, I found this recipe when I made Million Dollar Pie because I didn't feel like crushing graham crackers. It's simple and to die for and requires zero baking. My personal preference is pecans, but you may use walnuts or what the heck--try any nut out for size.
