Making a pie crust from ginger snaps is so much easier than rolling out a pastry crust! This is the perfect crust for a mild filling that doesn’t have to be baked. I use it for my Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. The spiciness and crispiness of the crust provides the perfect contrast to the creamy pumpkin filling and fluffy meringue topping. Yes, you can use store bought ginger snaps or even a store bought crust. I promise you this home made one is better!
