1 crust
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 cup pastry dough or 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 dash salt
- 3⁄4 cup walnut pieces
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You will need one buttered, nine-inch deep-dish pie pan either a light-colored or glass pan.
- Place the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Place the nuts in a food processor or blender and pulse just long enough to chop the nuts finely, not into a paste. Scrape the nuts into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the melted butter and combine well.
- Press the mixture into the buttered pie pan making certain that the crust is of even thickness.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until it just starts to brown on the edges. Do not over bake. A light-colored or glass pan will absorb less heat than a dark one and help ensure against over baking.

I am 35 and love to cook. As far back as i can remember i have always been helping in the kitchen. i remember getting my very first cookbook as a little girl, how excited I was! Now i always try to involve my children in cooking because not only does it help with reading, math and organization skills but it instills a sense of pride and accomplishment.
