To save time when she needs a dessert in a jiffy, Sue Ross of Casa Grande, Arizona keeps this versatile crust mix on hand. The crumb mixture makes enough for four pies and complements the taste of most any filling. Ingredients:
5 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 40 squares) |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup cold butter, cubed |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, combine the crumbs, sugar, butter and cinnamon; pulse until mixture becomes crumbly. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
2. Yield: about 7-1/2 cups mix (about 4 pie crusts).
3. To prepare one crust: Press about 1-3/4 cups crust mix onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Chill 30 minutes before filling. Yield: 1 pie crust.
