*Gingersnap Pie Crust* makes one 9 inch pie crust 4 ounces of gingersnap cookies, crushed into fine crumbs (about 1 cup of crumbs) (Over here I use gingernuts and crush them in my blender) 1/2 cup finely ground almonds or pecans (50g) 5 TBS unsalted butter, melted Pre-heat the oven to 160*C/325*F. Stir the gingersnap crumbs and almonds together in a bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to mix evenly together.
