Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Peanut butter cookies
- 70 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 15 grams Granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place the peanut butter cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
Measure the cookie crumbs to ensure you have about 200 grams (around 1 3/4 cups). Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl.
Add the melted unsalted butter to the bowl with the cookie crumbs. If you'd like a slightly sweeter crust, stir in the optional granulated sugar at this stage. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter and the mixture holds together when pinched.
Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a flat measuring cup to press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish, forming a compact crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is set and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before adding your desired filling.
Your Peanut Butter Cookie Crumbs Pie Crust is now ready to be filled with your favorite pie filling. Enjoy!
