Having used mostly supermarket pre-made 9 inch graham waffer crumb pie
crusts. I need assurance that this will stay good till around May 13th


What's the life expectancy on a home made version? How long will it
stay good wrapped in plactic cling wrap in the fridge after pressing
and baking into a 9X13 foil pan? I have a pot luck on
May 11th.

Gonna make a dreamsicle pie on Tuesday (May 10) night.



CRUMB BASE
2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
Mix the above and press into bottom of 9x13-inch pan.

I baked this for about 5 minutes at 350F till slightly Browned around
the edges. Just to ensure even butter saturation. I also replaced half
the Graham wafer crumbs with ground Almonds (1 cup).
