Ingredients
- 200 grams Peanut butter cookies
- 70 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 15 grams Granulated sugar (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Measure the cookie crumbs to ensure you have about 200 grams (around 1 3/4 cups). Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Your Peanut Butter Cookie Crumbs Pie Crust is now ready to be filled with your favorite pie filling. Enjoy!
