Cereal Pie Crust

Directions

1. 1
   Roll or grind the breakfast cereal. There should be 1 1/2 cups after crushing.
2. 2
   Combine with the melted butter, sugar (if using), and cinnamon.
3. 3
   An easy way to form the crust is after mixing to press another pie pan of the same diameter firmly into the dough. When the top pan is removed a crust of even thickness is underneath.
4. 4
   Trim any excess that is forced to the top edge.
5. 5
   Crumb crusts need not be baked before filling, but if used unbaked, must be first chilled thoroughly or the filling will immediately disintegrate the crust.
6. 6
   If baked before filling, they require a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. It is best to cool the empty baked shell before filling.
7. 7
   Fill a prebaked shell with chiffon fillings, bavarian creams, or gelatin whips topped with sweetened whipped cream, or with custard or fruit filling, which may be covered with a high meringue.
