Our Crunchy Cookies make the perfectly nutty pie or cheesecake crust you've been looking for. Plus, they're grain free and vegan - if you want them to be! Follow these easy steps to make your own at home.

Ingredients:

6-inch pie crust without edges
1 box Simple Mills Crunchy Toasted Pecan Cookies
3 Tbsp Dairy-free butter, melted

9-inch pie crust with edges
1 ½ box Simple Mills Crunchy Double Chocolate Cookies
3 Tbsp Dairy-free butter, melted

9-inch pie crust, bottom only
1 box Simple Mills Crunchy Cinnamon Cookies
3 Tbsp Dairy-free butter, melted

Instructions:

PREHEAT oven to 350 F.
PULSE cookies of choice in a food processor until fine. Use 1 box for a full 6-inch pie crust or a 9-inch bottom-only pie crust. For a 9-inch pie crust with the edges, you’ll need 1 ½ boxes (approx. 3 cups of cookies). You can also use a ziplock bag and break up the cookies with a rolling pin.

ADD the melted butter and pulse again a few times until the mixture resembles wet sand.

PRESS the cookie crumbs into a pie dish with the back of a measuring cup. Use the measuring cup to push the crumbs along the walls of the pie dish if making a crust with edges.

BAKE the pie crust in the oven for 8 minutes. Let cool before adding your favorite pie filling!
