Very, very good. I am not used to adding egg white so I left it out and the crust turned out great. I used this crust with Weight Watchers Pumpkin Delight Pumpkin Delight. Thanks for sharing!

    I tried this recipe for use with blueberry pie. I doubled it, it was a little too sticky going into the pan, and it cooked up a little chewy. Almost as if the egg made it a little cakie. My husband loved the pie, but what man ever complains about pie? Thanks for the recipe I'll try it again!

    Very, very good but is best when recipe is doubled. It spreads out and holds together much better.

    I rated this 5 for taste but 1 for ease of preparation. The addition of the egg white makes the crumb mixture too sticky and I had a hard time spreading it in my pie plate. I had to sprinkle another 1/4 cup of crumbs over the bottom and work it in with my fingers so that the bottom would be sufficiently covered. Next time I will leave out the egg white.
