If you have a recipe that calls for a graham-cracker crust, and you don't have the ingredients to make one or just want to try something that's not only simpler but much tastier-try this. Straight from Joy of Cooking, I found this recipe when I made Million Dollar Pie because I didn't feel like crushing graham crackers. It's simple and to die for and requires zero baking. My personal preference is pecans, but you may use walnuts or what the heck-try any nut out for size.
Ingredients:
2 cups walnuts or 2 cups pecans
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Chop walnuts or pecans (I did mine in the blender).
2. Melt butter and mix with the nuts in a pie plate.
3. Add sugar and salt and pat into bottom of pie pan.
4. Oila! Cooking is done, and you're ready to fill your crust.
