This was my first attempt at trying a gluten free strawberry pie recipe and I really liked the crust! This crust is made using oatmeal and brown sugar, vanilla, butter and nuts. The original recipe called for walnuts but those make my lips puffy so I chose cashews instead. I am sure you could use any kind of nut for this crust recipe.

The crust recipe comes from Food.com but I changed one ingredient.
