Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ½ cups ground pecans
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup white sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • 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.

PRESS IN PIE CRUST

Making pie crust from scratch is like kid's play when you use Gramma John's Pie Crust recipe. It's simple and delicious!

Provided by Jessica Fisher

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter (cut into chunks)
1 to 2 tbsp water (cold )

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine together the flour and salt. Add the butter chunks and cut them into the flour mixture with a pastry blender, or two knives held together. You can also use a food processor for quicker work. Kids can do this with a fork if that is easier for them. Work these ingredients together until they form pea-sized crumbs.
  • Quickly stir in the cold water a tablespoon at a time and combine until a large pea size clumps form. Transfer these to the pie plate.
  • Pat the dough into a pie plate, pushing the dough across the bottom of the pie plate and up the sides.
  • Use as is in recipes that call for an unbaked pie shell. For recipes that call for a pre-baked crust, bake it for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees until light golden brown. Cool completely before pouring in your filling.
