Ingredients
- 1 ½ 1 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs (or 11 graham cracker sheets pulverized to crumbs in a food processor)
- 2 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 1 Tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 7 7 Tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers in food processor until finely ground into crumbs (skip this step if starting with graham cracker crumbs).
- Stir together graham cracker crumbs and sugars in a medium-sized bowl. Add melted butter and use a fork to combine ingredients well until crumbs are all moistened.
- Pour mixture into pie plate or springform pan. Use the (clean!) bottom of a measuring cup to firmly pack crumbs into the bottom of the pan and (if using a pie pan) gently press up the sides. Use your fingers to pack crumbs tightly into the sides of the pie pan.
- If the crust needs to be pre-baked, bake on 350F (175C) for 10-13 minutes and allow to cool before filling. If using this crust as part of a different recipe, bake according to your recipe's instructions. If this crust is for a no-bake recipe, refrigerate or freeze for 10-20 minutes before filling.

Notes
- You can substitute more granulated sugar if you do not have brown.
- I accidentally say the wrong oven temperature in the video. Always follow my written recipe.
