Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) Honey Nut Cheerios™ cereal
  • 3 tablespoons (45 mL) sugar or firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, melted

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Using food processor, finely crush cereal.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, mix crushed cereal and sugar with fork. Stir in melted butter until well mixed. Press in bottom and up side of ungreased 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate.
  • 3
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. This crust performs best with a creamy no-bake type filling.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free.
  • Tip 2
    No food processor? Place cereal in food storage plastic bag; crush finely with rolling pin or meat mallet. Use 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) cereal to make 1 cup (250 mL) of crumbs. Be sure the crumbs are finely crushed; large particles make it difficult to press mixture into pie plate.
  • Tip 3
    The butter can be replaced with 1/4 cup (50 mL) vegan vegetable oil spread stick, melted.
  • Tip 4
    Use 2 1/2 cups cereal to make 1 cup of crumbs. Be sure the crumbs are finely crushed; large particles make it difficult to press mixture into pie plate. The butter can be replaced with 1/4 cup vegan vegetable oil spread stick, melted.
