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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Stir together ground nuts, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix in melted butter.

  2. 2

    Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch, deep-dish style, pie pan. Chill the unbaked crust in the refrigerator for about 30 to 45 minutes.

  3. 3

    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.
