How to Make Uncle Bill's Graham And Vanilla Wafer Pie Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs, and ½ cup finely chopped almonds. Mix well.
  3. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with vegetable oil and dust with 1 tablespoon flour. Tap out any excess flour.
  5. Press the crumb mixture into the prepared pie dish, ensuring an even layer about ¼ inch thick. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or spoon to firmly pack the crust.
  6. For an extra-firm crust, use a potato masher to press the bottom firmly.
  7. Freeze the crust for 30 minutes.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  9. Let the crust cool completely before adding your favorite pie filling. See suggested recipes below!
  10. Optional: For some fillings, substitute ½ cup pecans for the almonds.
