Homemade Gingersnap Pie Crust

So this was my own invention and it turned out pretty good. I hope to use different variations as I try different pies.


1 1/4 C. All-purpose flour
1/4-1/2 C. food processed gingersnap cookies (about 12-15 cookies)
1 tsp. salt
1/3 C. shortening or 1/2 C. butter
3 Tbs. cold water
2 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. brown sugar


In a food processor, process gingersnap cookies until fine crumbs form.
Add 1/2 cup of the cookies, flour, salt, sugars and shortening to the processor. Process until combined.
Turn on processor and add 3 Tbs. of cold water at once through the tube. Turn off immediately. Pulse one or two more times. Remove from processor and form into a ball. Place on a slightly floured board and roll out to desired size.
