Gingersnap Pie Crust
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package gingersnap cookies
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all the necessary components.
2
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
3
Set aside a batch of 12 to 18 whole gingersnap cookies. Crush the remaining cookies into fine crumbs, which should amount to about 1 and a half cups in total. Keep the remaining cookies aside for future use.
4
Combine the gingersnap crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until they are thoroughly incorporated.
5
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.
6
Arrange the whole gingersnap cookies upright around the border of the springform pan, pressing them firmly into the base and overlapping them slightly if necessary, so that they stand upright.
7
Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is set, approximately 7 minutes.
