OATMEAL NUT PIE CRUST
I just found this recipe in an old band bosters cookbook and placing it here for sharing and later use. The recipe mentions that it is a good substitute for graham cracker crust. It sounds good to me and might be a good alternative for cream pies or maybe even dutch apple or cherry.

OATMEAL PIE CRUST
Not your plain run-of-the-mill crust. Great with peanut butter or butterscotch pies.

Tips:
- Use cold butter and lard: This will help to create a flaky crust. If you don't have time to chill the butter and lard, you can freeze them for 15 minutes before using.
- Work quickly: The more you work the dough, the tougher it will be. So, try to work it as little as possible.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Just mix it until the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake the pie crust until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the crust is cooked through.
