Pecan Cinnamon Pie Crust
This pecan crust is the perfect crust for just about everything! Not too sweet and gluten free.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 4 Tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Chop the pecans pretty fine. You can do that by hand or in a food processor.
- Melt the butter while you're chopping the pecans.
- Put the melted butter in a small bowl and add sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Add the chopped pecans and mix well.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of your pan(s). You can go slightly up the sides (like a 1/4 inch) if you want to.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Just until its lightly browned. Nuts burn easily, so be careful.
- Cool the crust completely before adding the filling.
