Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 8

For a Standard 8- or 9-Inch Pie Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup butter (melted)
1/4 cup sugar
For a Thicker Crust for Cheesecake or Deep Dish Pie:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • If the recipe you're making requests a baked pie shell, preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • For an unbaked pie shell, chill for an hour in the refrigerator before filling. To loosen a chilled crust so it will release from the pie plate easily and in one piece, heat the bottom and sides of the pie plate with a damp kitchen towel which has been rinsed in very hot water.
  • For a baked pie shell, bake it for about 8 to 10 minutes. For a firm pie shell, bake it for 10 to 12 minutes, or chill it thoroughly in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Place the pie shell on a rack and cool completely before filling.
  • Enjoy!

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.
