How to Make 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.
