Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup dehydrated sugar cane juice
  • 4 Tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Chop the pecans pretty fine. You can do that by hand or in a food processor.
  • Melt the butter while you're chopping the pecans.
  • Put the pecans in a small bowl and add the cinnamon and sugar. Mix well.
  • Add the melted butter. Mix until the butter is evenly distributed.
  • Press the crust mixture into the bottom of your pan(s). You can go slightly up the sides (like a 1/4 inch) if you want to.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Just until its lightly browned. Nuts burn easily, so be careful.
  • Cool the crust completely before adding the filling.
