How to Make Easy Vanilla Wafer Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place 16 vanilla wafers in a large resealable freezer bag.
- Using a rolling pin, crush the wafers into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a freezer bag, place the wafers in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
- Pour the crumbs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter or margarine to the bowl. Gently mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup, firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate, creating an even crust. Make sure to press firmly to ensure a compact crust.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
