    Notes

      • How to make without a food processor.
        • Put the crust ingredients in a ziplock bag and hit them with a kitchen mallet, meat tenderizer or a hammer, to make sure they’re finely ground.
      • Make slicing easier.
        • Because this delicious pie is chilled, it could become harder to slice. If that’s the case, just let it sit out for a few minutes before cutting a slice or try running the knife you’re using under hot water, before slicing.
