How to Make it

This pie crust couldn’t be easier! All you need to do is:

1. Melt the butter.
2. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl, or to make it even easier, put them inside of the bowl or pot you used to melt the butter.
3. Pour the mixture into a 9″ pie plate and start pressing the ingredients up the sides of the pie plate to form the edges first. Once the edges are formed, work the crumbs down to evenly distribute into the bottom of the pie plate and pack it down into an even layer.
