Banana Cream Pie with Pretzel Crust Recipe (+)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°.
In a large mixing bowl combine flour, pretzels, salt and butter until texture is crumbly. (Mixing with a fork works best).
Add water, mix well.
Dust a flat working surface with flour.
Roll out crust on surface with a rolling pin until you have a nice, even crust (approximately 12 inch diameter)
Fold in half and gently place in the pie plate. (The crust is fragile but pinches together nicely if it falls apart).

Slice bananas on top of cheese mixture.
Mix pudding and milk until thickened.
Pour over bananas.

"Creamy and delicious! Crust was difficult to get in pan all in one piece but easy enough to press together. I will probably make in a 9x13 pan next time and just press the crust onto the bottom of the pan."
