How to Make Orange Pie

1. Make Crust

• Using either shortbread cookies or graham crackers, add them to a food processor or blender and pulse to make fine crumbs.

• Add in sugar, salt and melted butter. Whisk to combine mixture.
• Press into the bottom and up the sides a 9-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten the crust.
• Bake the crust for 12 to 14 minutes at 325 degrees F. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
