Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Saltine Cracker Pie Crust Base.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a 9-inch pie pan a light greasing to ensure your crust comes out easily.
Step 2
Next, grab a bowl or a food processor and crush those saltine crackers until they’re finely ground—this will be the base of your delicious crust.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed crackers with a sprinkle of sugar and a pinch of salt, mixing them together until they’re well blended.
Step 4
Now, pour in the melted butter and a drizzle of honey, stirring everything together until it’s a cohesive mixture.
Step 5
It’s time to create your crust! Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of your prepared pie pan, using a measuring cup to help you achieve an even layer.
Step 6
Pop the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 16 minutes, or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown and feels set.
Step 7
Once it’s baked to perfection, take it out of the oven and, while it’s still warm, use that measuring cup again to reshape the crust if it has settled during baking.
Step 8
Allow your crust to cool completely before filling it with your favorite pie filling.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful journey of creating a pie that’s sure to impress!.
