Instructions

Add mini pretzels to a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs, leaving some small pieces for texture.
Alternatively, crush pretzels in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin or heavy object until fine crumbs are formed.
In a medium bowl, mix crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar until coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish, packing it tightly.
Chill the pressed crust in the refrigerator for 25 minutes or in the freezer for 10-25 minutes until firm.

Notes

This pie can be made a day in advance; just keep it refrigerated until serving.
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
Feel free to substitute with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for variation.
