Chex Pie Crust Recipes

OATMEAL PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Place the oats, melted butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor. Blend until well combined and the oats clump together, about 20-30 seconds.
• Press firmly on the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Tip: To make the crust come all the way up the sides, press evenly on the bottom to work the excess crust up the sides.
• For a fully baked pie crust, bake for 18 minutes, or until oats are set. If the crust puffs up during baking, use a measuring cup to flatten gently immediately when it comes out of the oven. Cool completely before filling.
• To fill with an unbaked filling, bake for 5 minutes before filling. Bake according to pie instructions, but for best results, bake the pie on the lowest oven rack.

EASY PIE CRUST

Steps:

• To make the dough for the pie crust, mix 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar in a medium-size bowl. Cut 2 sticks chilled unsalted butter into pieces. With a pastry blender, cut in butter, working until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Add 4 tablespoons ice water; work with hands until dough comes together. If dough is still crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time (up to 4 more tablespoons). Do not overwork.
• Divide dough in half, and flatten halves into disks. Wrap disks separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• To form the pie shell, roll the dough on a floured surface into a 14-inch round. Wrap around rolling pin and carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate.
• Fit gently into bottom and side of plate. Use kitchen shears to trim dough to a 1-inch overhang; fold under, and seal to form a rim.
• Crimp rim with fingertips and knuckle. Repeat with remaining dough; wrap each with plastic, stack, and freeze.
