Notes

  • For a gluten free graham cracker crust - just substitute gluten free graham crackers in the recipe. 
  • To freeze your crust - press the crust into your pie plate, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before using, or bake it straight from frozen if your recipe calls for a baked crust.
  • Making ahead - prepare the crust and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days before adding your filling. If it's a baked crust, let it cool completely before wrapping and storing.
