Pecan Nut Crust

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 2 1/2 cups ground pecans
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Recipe

• 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.
