Ingredients

  • 1 package Graham crackers or 9 full graham crackers
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
  2. Place graham crackers in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Squeeze as much air out as you can and seal tightly. Using a rolling pin, crush the crackers and roll out until you have very fine crumbs.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine crumbs, sugar, and butter until all the crumbs are evenly moist.
  4. Press crumbs into pie plate.
  5. Bake for 7 minutes in preheated oven.
  6. Wait until crust cools before adding filling. If your recipe calls for an "unbaked" graham cracker crust, chill in the fridge for at least an hour before adding filling.

Notes

  • For a gluten free graham cracker crust, substitute gluten free graham crackers in the recipe. 
  • Crush the graham crackers. You can use a food processor to get an even texture or just place the crackers in a plastic bag, seal tightly and smash the crackers using a rolling pin until you have very find crumbs.
  • Next, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the white sugar and melted butter until the crumbs are completely and evenly moist. It should be like the texture of wet sand. I like to stir it with a fork at first, but you may just want to get in there with your fingers.
  • Then, press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Finally, bake for about seven minutes. Let it cool slightly, then pour in your favorite filling.
