Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Place the oats, melted butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor. Blend until well combined and the oats clump together, about 20-30 seconds.
- Press firmly on the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Tip: To make the crust come all the way up the sides, press evenly on the bottom to work the excess crust up the sides.
- For a fully baked pie crust, bake for 18 minutes, or until oats are set. If the crust puffs up during baking, use a measuring cup to flatten gently immediately when it comes out of the oven. Cool completely before filling.
- To fill with an unbaked filling, bake for 5 minutes before filling. Bake according to pie instructions, but for best results, bake the pie on the lowest oven rack.

OATMEAL PIE CRUST
Not your plain run-of-the-mill crust. Great with peanut butter or butterscotch pies.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to make the oat and nut mixture. This will help to create a fine, even crumb that will hold together well when pressed into the pie plate.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the oats and nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely, so that they will blend well with the other ingredients.
- Be sure to measure the oats and nuts correctly. Too much or too little of either ingredient can result in a crust that is too dry or too crumbly.
- Press the crust firmly into the pie plate. This will help to prevent it from cracking or crumbling when you bake it.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Be sure to watch the crust closely so that it doesn't burn.
Conclusion:
Oat nut pie crust is a delicious and versatile crust that can be used for a variety of pies and tarts. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy bakers.
