This crust is especially good as a base for Eggnog Pie with Rum, but can be used with almost any custard pie.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups ground pecans
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.33 cups white sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted

Place pie crust on a cookie sheet, and position on the middle rack of a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. WATCH it carefully, as nut crusts burn easily; they DON'T have to turn black to taste burnt! Cool completely before filling.
