"This crust is especially good as a base for Eggnog Pie with Rum, but can be used with almost any custard pie."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.

Makes about double what is needed for a 9" crust. When I pressed it into the pan it made a crust about 1/3 to 1/2 of an inch thick, which reduced the volume of pie filling significantly. Good ...

I'm so glad to find a gluten-free pie crust. My family (even my 9 year old) loved it. We made key lime pie and the combo was terrific.

Good recipe. I like it better though with 1/2 cup flour added and 1/3 cup Splenda BROWN sugar. The flour will soak up the greasiness of the butter. I just chop the pecans. This crust is awesome ...

I used a mixture of almond and hazelnut flour and increased butter a bit. This is a fantastic recipe that can be altered easily for low-carb.
