I have never tried this with corn flakes, but it sounds GREAT. I have always used sugar cookie mix for a crust and it is too sweet, this sounds better though! If you use a lot of fresh colorful fruit (blueberries, raspberries, apples, peaches, kiwi, strawberries etc.) it looks beautiful.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the corn flakes in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
  • Be sure to measure the corn flake crumbs correctly. Too much or too little will affect the texture of the pie crust.
  • If you're using a store-bought pie filling, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the pie crust.
  • Bake the pie crust according to the recipe instructions. Over-baking will make the crust dry and crumbly.
