Default Almond crust that's not crumbly

Here is a recipe using Pecans..I also found this online and have not tried
it.

Pecan Pie Crust

2 1/2 cups ground pecans
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup white sugar (You can use Splenda)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

DIRECTIONS
Stir together ground nuts, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix in melted butter.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch, deep-dish
style, pie pan. Chill the unbaked crust in the refrigerator for about 30 to
45 minutes.
Place pie crust on a cookie sheet, and position on the middle rack of a
preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or
until lightly browned. WATCH it carefully, as nut crusts burn easily; they
DON'T have to turn black to taste burnt! Cool completely before filling.
