Pecan Nut Crust

Recipe by Julie Pastore from allrecipes.com

Dessert

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 2.5 cups ground pecans
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.33329999446869 cup white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

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