Cereal Pie Crust

By KeyIngredient

Ingredients

• 6 cups breakfast cereal (flaked or puffed)
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar (omit if the cereal if presweetened)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1
Roll or grind the breakfast cereal. There should be 1 1/2 cups after crushing.
2
Combine with the melted butter, sugar (if using), and cinnamon.
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
Trim any excess that is forced to the top edge.
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
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
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.
