Following Tammy’s procedure and proportions in her Pecan Nut Crust, I used half hazelnuts and half almonds to create the nut crust for pumpkin pie yesterday. I pre-baked it for 10 minutes at 325 degrees. Then I filled it with the pumpkin pie filling. Just delicious! Thanks for a great recipe, Tammy!
