SPICED PECAN PIE CRUST

From the Cuisinart website. It sounds like it would be amazing for a cheesecake crust or a pumpkin pie! The original recipes says you need a spice grinder to grind one whole cinnamon stick and one whole nutmeg with the pecans. I am altering it and substituting 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. So you may want to base it a little on taste. Chop the pecans in a mini-food chopper if you have one!

Time 25m

Yield 1 pie crust, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup pecans, toasted and cooled, very finely chopped
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F
Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Reserve.
Place the spices, pecans, graham cracker crumbs and sugars in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
Slowly add the butter and vanilla until mixture is moist. Note: all of the butter may not be needed.
Press the mixture into and up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips:

Choose high-quality pecans. Look for pecans that are plump, smooth, and free of blemishes.
Toast the pecans before using them. Toasting brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant.
Use a food processor to grind the pecans into a fine crumb. This will help the crust adhere to the fish.
Season the pecan crust with your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Press the pecan crust firmly onto the fish fillets. This will help it stay in place during cooking.
Bake the fish fillets in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Serve the fish fillets immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Spiced pecan crust is a delicious and easy way to add flavor and texture to your fish dishes. It's perfect for baked, grilled, or fried fish. With its nutty flavor and crispy texture, spiced pecan crust is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
