pumpkin pie  Okay, there's regular pie crust and there's graham
cracker crust. I've also seen chocolate cookie and gingersnap
crusts. Got any other ideas? I'm not that fond of pie crust
myself and would happily eat pumpkin flan, but I don't want to
disappoint the pie lovers (too much).  I'm considering Martha
Stewart's "Press-in Shortbread Pie Crust"
http://www.marthastewart.com/319153/p..., but would like other
ideas from y'all first.     1. Click to Upload a photo (10 MB

(basically a deep dish pizza, but sweet and with pumpkin)     or
rise krispies crust ,     Or filo /puff pastry crust     Or make
a crust w granola      1. ground nuts -- either almonds or
pecans.        or ground up chocolate cookies.        5 Replies
1. re: pinehurst            I always make a toasted pecan crust
for pumpkin pie. Sometimes add coconut to good reviews.
