I crunch up cookies or biscuits in the food proc, sprinkle into a greased pie pan, pour the filling over, and bake until done.

chocolate moose - how does it stick together? You don't add anything to it?

I make a basic sugar cookie dough and either roll it out into a big circle on a sheet of wax paper and flip it onto the pan, peeling off the wax paper, or flatten it in bits and pieces which I press into the bottom of the pan. For a top crust, I either roll out the dough into another circle on wax paper, or make a lattice by cutting a rolled-out sheet of dough into strips and laying them criss-cross across the top.
For a crumb crust, blenderize graham crackers into crumbs, use a fork to mix in enough melted margarine to hold together in a blob when you squeeze it in your fist--about 4 tablespoons--and press into the bottom of the pan. Flatten with the bottom of a glass.

1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup margarine, melted or softened
4 Tbsp cold water
Mix flour and salt in food processor. Add margarine and process until crumbly. Add water, 1 Tbsp at a time, and process, until it forms a ball. Roll out and use. Or simply press into a parchment-paper-lined or non-stick baking pan.
It's basic, easy, and works for any recipe - sweet or otherwise. Double it for a top/bottom pie. Freezes well. I often double the recipe and freeze half a dough in a bag. Defrost for 30 minutes before use.
