Preparation
Step 1
Stir together ground nuts, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix in melted butter.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch, deep-dish style, pie pan.
Chill the unbaked crust in the refrigerator for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Place pie crust on a cookie sheet, and position on the middle rack of a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Decrease time to about 8 minutes when using coconut oil.
WATCH it carefully, as nut crusts burn easily; they DON'T have to turn black to taste burnt!
Cool completely before filling.
