Como fazer Nut Crust

Combine 1 ½ cups of your chosen nuts (pecans recommended) in a food processor and pulse until finely ground but not completely powdery. Leave some slightly larger pieces for texture.
Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt to the food processor.
Pulse again until the sugar is well incorporated with the nuts.
Slowly add ¼ cup (½ stick) of melted unsalted butter while the food processor runs. Process until the mixture is evenly moistened and clumps together.
Press the nut mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your pie plate or tart pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or similar tool to create an even crust.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the crust to firm up before adding your favorite filling.
