Crumb Crust
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham-cracker crumbs (approximately 18
graham cracker squares)
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter or margarine |
Crumb crust is an alternative to the traditional single pie crust. The
crumb crust can be made from a variety of cookies or crackers. Crumb crusts
can be made from graham crackers, chocolate or vanilla wafers, sandwich
cookies, and gingersnaps. The flavor of the crust can be enhanced by adding
pecans, almonds, and other nuts. Spices, such as ginger, cinnamon, and
nutmeg can also be added. See the instructions below on how to make a
crumb crust.
