Press into an 8-inch pie dish making the crust about 1/8-inch thick evenly all around and up the sides, evening the crumbs up to make sure there are no gaps or holes. Note: If you refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes before you bake it, this will help prevent crumbling when you want to serve it.
30 min - 5
Bake until the edges are golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
8 min - 6
Remove from the oven and let the crust cool on a wire rack, before filling.
