In the month of November I shared with you guys two different types of pies that I used this crust for. What is great about this crust is that depending on what your recipe calls for, cooked or uncooked crust, this crust works great in both.
I tried it out on Chocolate Pecan Pie and Apple Cranberry Frozen Yogurt Pie!
HOW TO MAKE IT?
It is super easy to make. I know I have said this before but really, if you need an uncooked crust all you have to do is crust up some graham crackers add the pecans and sugars, melted butter and boom, your done!
Can I cook it?
If you need it cooked then you use the same process and then just bake it in the oven for 10 minutes and then boom, your done!
Seriously, too easy! ENJOY!

I’m all about pie this whole season of the holidays. It’s actually the only time I’m in the mood to make one. Baked or just chilled ones. (Did you know that you actually posted this on National Pie Day? AFTER Thanksgiving, no less!) My family would love this!

I am super excited to to try this recipe. Pecans make everything better. 🙂 Quick question, do you use 8 oz of butter or one stick of butter? All my sticks are 4 oz, but I didn’t know if maybe some brands came in 8oz. I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a typo. Thanks!
Nancy P.
Hi Nicole, thanks so much for your question. It is 8oz of butter. Sorry for the confusion all of my sticks are 8oz.
Danielle
This looks so good! I will definitely be trying this with the next pie that calls for a graham cracker crust for added flavor and crunch!
Nancy P.
Thanks Danielle!
Ling
Do you think this will go well with just a standard pumpkin pie? Thinking mini muffin tins…
Nancy P.
I definitely would love to know if it could. Sounds amazing! Let me know if you try it out! Thanks Ling!

I love pecans in graham cracker crust — it gives such a nice, nutty flavor! The cinnamon sounds like a great addition too — this pie crust looks great, Nancy!

Hi! Thanks for the great crust recipe! FYI…1 stick of butter is 4oz, not 8oz! Huuge difference! Thanks again, it was delicious! =)
