I did not like this recipe. Adding the salt ruined what is traditionally a subtly sweet buttery pie crust. The salt overwhelmed the flavor!! I would also increase to 1/3 cup of sugar.
There was no need to use a food processor when a bowl is more than sufficient to mix the ingredients. Even if you use a food processor to make the crumbs, add them to the bowl with the butter and sugar(NO SALT).
Also, if you freeze the crust, you cannot put it in the oven to bake straight from the freezer. The pie plate needs to come close to room temperature.

The crumb crust recipe calls for too much butter or maybe not enough crumbs. My crust was a soupy mess no matter how long I baked it.
I threw out the first crust and tried again and it turned out just right. Here are the changes I made: 1} only use 4 tablespoons of butter 2} pulse the food processor instead of running it constantly because the crumb/butter mixture turns into a paste if you over mix it.
Now you have a lovely crumb crust.
