For an even more intense walnut flavor, lightly toast the ground walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes before combining with the other ingredients. Be careful not to burn them!
If you prefer a sweeter crust, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons.
To prevent the crust from sticking, you can lightly grease the pie plate with butter or cooking spray before pressing in the walnut mixture.
This crust is also delicious with a hint of spice. Try adding 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the walnut mixture.
