How to Make Gingersnap Pie Crust

You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make this top-rated gingersnap pie crust:

1. Crush the cookies: Set aside 12-18 cookies, then crush the rest of the gingersnaps in the package.
2. Mix the ingredients: Mix the crumbs, brown sugar, and butter until well-combined..
3. Form the pie crust: Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Arrange the whole cookies around the border.
4. Bake the pie crust: Bake in the preheated oven until set, then allow to cool completely before filling.

Note: If you'd like to use a traditional pie pan, you can forgo the cookie border. Just press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, as you would a normal cookie crust.
