Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place nuts in food processor and process until finely ground. Add remaining crust ingredients and pulse several times until dates are finely chopped, all ingredients are well integrated, and the nut dough can be pressed together. (Be sure not to go too long or you will end up with nut butter. Tasty, yes, but not what we're going for here!) Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan. Press the dough firmly on the bottom and sides to form a crust. You may have just a little left over.
Tips:
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender: This will help you to achieve a smooth and even consistency for your crust.
- If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before using: This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend.
- If you want a sweeter crust, add a few extra dates or a tablespoon of honey: Taste the crust as you go and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Press the crust firmly into the pie pan: This will help to prevent it from cracking or crumbling.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown: Keep an eye on the crust so that it does not burn.
- Let the crust cool completely before filling it: This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
