HOW TO MAKE PIE CRUST WITH PECANS

Making this buttery pie crust is so simple and easy and requires just a few minutes of bake time. You can mix it by hand, with a mixer, or using a food processor.

1. First, if your pecans aren't chopped, finely chop them and set aside.
2. Then mix together the melted butter and flour, forming a soft dough.
3. Stir in the chopped pecans until they’re all mixed in.
4. It’s a press in pie crust, so just press the pie dough into a 13″x9″ baking dish.

Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes, or until the edges of the crust begin to turn a nice golden brown (baking times can vary).

Let the crust cool before adding any filling.

Don’t you love how easy this pie crust is? It doesn’t even require you to roll out the dough.

Mix it up, press it in your baking dish, and bake it. Then it’s ready for your favorite dessert.

Now if you’re making this crust with a regular pie where youbake the crustwith thepie filling, you’ll bake it according to the recipe instructions for that particular pie.

ALTERNATIVE INGREDIENT OPTIONS

While this recipe only has 3 ingredients, there are a few things you can do to switch it up.

• Instead of pecans, consider usingwalnuts,black walnuts(if you like the flavor of black walnuts), or evenalmonds.
• Useshorteningin place of butter.
• You can also usecanola oilin place of butter.
• And if you’re just not a nut person, you can make this without pecans at all, just a plain crust.

CAN I MAKE THIS CRUST GLUTEN FREE?

Ok, so confession: I am now gluten-free in real life, so you can bet I'm working on a gluten-free version of this recipe because it's one of my go to pie crust recipes.

I have tried making it with gluten-free flour just the way it is, but I think I need to cut out some of the butter because it didn't bake quite right. It was still good, but it needs a little work.

So stay tuned because I will have a gluten free pie crust very soon for all my gluten-free comrades.

CAN I FREEZE THIS PECAN PIE CRUST?

Yes, you can. I'd recommend baking the pie crust first, then allow it to cool, cover it well, and freeze it.

Just be sure it's stored properly to prevent freezer burn. Use an airtight container or a good freezer wrap.

And when you're ready to use the crust, allow it to thaw for at least half an hour before pairing it with your favorite desserts. It's going to chill anyway, so it's ok if it's not completely thawed.
