How to Make Vanilla Wafer Pie Crust

  1. Crush vanilla wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Aim for about 2 cups of crumbs.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Make sure to create an even layer.
  4. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow it to firm up. This prevents it from crumbling when you add your filling.
  5. Add your favorite pie filling and enjoy!
