Step 1

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a pie plate with butter.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, stir the nuts, sugar and salt until combined. Add the 4 tablespoons melted butter and the egg white, and stir the mixture until uniformly combined.

Step 3

Press the crust evenly into the base and up the sides of the prepared pie 9-inch plate. The crust is now ready to be filled and baked as desired.

Step 4

To use with fruit filling(s): Pour the cooled fruit filling into the unbaked, assembled pie crust and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the filling appears a bit matte on the surface. If needed, cover the crust edges with foil to prevent over-browning.

Step 5

To use with pudding filling(s): Blind-bake the crust before filling. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until it is rich brown and smells toasty. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before adding the filling to the pan.
