Terry Gay's Pecan Nut Crust Recipe

Terry got this recipe from http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pecan-nut-crust/. She omitted the sugar and used 1/4 tsp. of stevia instead of the sugar.

Original recipe makes 1 - 9 inch pie crust 

PECAN NUT CRUST

21/2 cups ground pecans

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

 1/3 white sugar, or 1/4 tsp. stevia

4 tbls. unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. Stir together ground nuts, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix in melted butter.
2. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch, deep-dish style, pie pan. Chill the unbaked crust in the refrigerator for about 30 to 45 minutes.
3. Place pie crust on a cookie sheet, and position on the middle rack of a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. WATCH it carefully, as nut crusts burn easily; they DON'T have to turn black to taste burnt! Cool completely before filling.
