How to Make Faiga's Matza Pie Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Soak 6 matzah crackers in cold water for 5 minutes.
  3. Drain the matzah crackers thoroughly and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
  4. Heat 1/4 cup of shortening or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the drained matzah crackers to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until completely dry and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Add the cooked matzah to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.
  8. Pat the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate, creating a crust about 1/4 inch thick.
  9. Fill with your favorite fruit filling (apple, berry, etc.).
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Yields 2 open-faced pie crusts.
