Walnut Pie Crust Recipe
A walnut pie crust can add a unique and delicious twist to your pies, especially if you're looking for a flavor and texture contrast to traditional pie crusts made with flour and butter.
Equipment
- 1 Pie Pan 9" or 10" pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 120 grams
- ¾ cup walnuts, chopped and lightly toasted 85 grams
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 3 ounces / 85 grams
- ¼ cup light brown sugar 53 grams
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 ℉
- Melt butter and cool slightly.
- Place walnuts in a food processor and grind into a nut flour (note: no large pieces should remain)
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and ground walnuts in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add melted butter to the bowl and stir until moistened.
- Gently press the mixture on the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Cool before adding pie filling.
Notes
Note: If using for a no-bake pie filling, place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes after assembling in your pie pan. After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the freezer and add your pie filling.
