There’s something that sounds soooo good to me about nutty pie crusts. Almonds, walnuts, pecans – they all go wonderfully with thicker or custardy pies. Pumpkin pie with a pecan crust? Molasses pie with walnut crust? Yes, please!

This will make one deep dish pie crust.

Toasted Walnut Pie Crust Print Recipe CourseIngredients Servings Prep Time 1 pie 8 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Servings Prep Time 1 pie 8 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups Walnuts
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Butter Melted, though if you process it enough, it doesn't matter!

Servings: pie

Instructions

1. Chop up the walnuts in the food processor. Try to get it as fine as possible, that will make it easier to press into the pie plate.
2. Add in the baking soda, salt, and butter. Pulse until its all mixed together. It should start to clump.
3. Pour into pie plate, and press against the edges and bottom of the plate. This should be enough to just cover a deep dish pie plate.
4. Toast in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes by itself. Then you can fill it with whatever pie filling and complete cooking.
