Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start by making that delicious pretzel crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the pretzels are well-coated. Then, press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your pie dish to form a nice crust. Pop it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until it’s golden and fragrant. Oh, the smell of baking pretzels wafting through my kitchen is just heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
