For an even richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat before chopping. Feel free to substitute walnuts or almonds for the pecans. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness. If the crust puffs up during baking, gently prick it with a fork to release the air. This crust can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
