Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, and flour, then pour in the melted butter and mix everything together until it’s well coated. Set aside half of this mixture for the topping later. Press the remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns a nice golden brown. Once it’s done, let the crust cool completely before adding your filling.
How To Serve It Best
This crust pairs wonderfully with fruit pies, quiches, and tarts. Try it filled with fresh berries or savory fillings like spinach and cheese for a delicious treat any time of day.
Leftover Tips
Wrap leftover dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the dough for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge before rolling out to maintain texture.
