Last Minute Pie Crust

[lilliexx]

i just wanted to post this because i ordered a gluten free pie crust from gluten free pantry last week and it didnt come yet so i was freaking out, becuz i told my sister i would make the pumpkin pie!!!!! so i tried a suggestion that i think tarnelberry posted awhile back!! she said she used pamala's shortbread cookies for the crust. so i crushed some up, added a little butter, put the pie filling in, and baked it. it turned out wonderful!! even better than real pie crust.

so thankyou for that suggestion!! and if anyone else has a last minute pie emergency, keep this tip in mind. it is also a lot easier than making a real crust!!

Ooh...thanks...awhile back the New York Times printed the recipe for the best cheesecake in NY, and my aunt clipped it and used to make a cheesecake for me every now and then. It was amazing and she kept the recipe to herself so that she could always be the one to give me that treat . Anyway, she's going to give it to my mom, now, so that it can be adapted to be gluten-free. I think that, provided that I pick the right brandnames for ingredients, it will be nearly all gluten-free. I will, of course need to make a crust--I was thinking of breaking up Pamela's chocolate cookies to make a crust--I'll try them both, though.....
