Ingredients

• 36 crackers Ritz crackers
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups whipped cream
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish.

Step 2

Place the Ritz crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Alternatively, pulse them in a food processor.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a hand mixer or whisk until slightly frothy, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Gently fold the beaten eggs into the cracker mixture until fully combined.

Step 6

Add the chopped pecans (or walnuts) and vanilla extract to the batter and mix well.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, top the pie generously with whipped cream. If desired, garnish with fresh berries for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Step 11

Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
