I made a Haupai today and wanted something a little different for the bottom crust so came up with this.

1. Preheat the oven to 350'F.
2. Combine the hazelnut meal and sugar in a medium bowl.
3. Melt the Vegan Margarine in a small pot.

5. Press into the bottom of an 8x8" baking dish.
6. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the hazelnuts are golden. Cool completely and top with your favourite filling.
