gingersnap pecan pie crust
(1 rating)
Great flavor addition to pies such as custard, sweet potato, yam, pumpkin or carrot. Not a flaky crust, this turns out more crisp the first day of serving and softens as time allows. I've paired this recipe with my Sweet Carrot Pecan Pie and had very delicious results-- Enjoy!
