Walnut Pie Crust Recipe

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You will need one buttered, nine-inch deep-dish pie pan either a light-colored or glass pan.
2. 2
   Place the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
3. 3
   Place the nuts in a food processor or blender and pulse just long enough to chop the nuts finely, not into a paste. Scrape the nuts into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
4. 4
   Add the melted butter and combine well.
5. 5
   Press the mixture into the buttered pie pan making certain that the crust is of even thickness.
6. 6
   Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until it just starts to brown on the edges. Do not over bake. A light-colored or glass pan will absorb less heat than a dark one and help ensure against over baking.
