How to Make Oatmeal Nut Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the melted coconut oil.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Let cool completely before adding your favorite pie filling.
