Yield Makes one 9-inch crust

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (approximately 20 Oreo cookies)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole milk

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the Oreo cookies and cinnamon in a food processor (see page xviii) and pulse them together until they are ground down into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, mix together the crumbs and melted butter, using a fork to combine. Add and incorporate the milk, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stopping when the crumbs are moist enough to mold into a pie shell (this may take only 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk to accomplish).
Spread the Oreo crust mixture evenly across the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate so that it covers the entire dish. There should be no gaps in the crust. Bake for 5 minutes. Cool the pie shell for 30 minutes before adding your desired pie filling.
