Ingredients
- 9 whole Graham crackers crushed (or one whole package of Nairn's Gluten-Free Grahams)
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed, try dark brown sugar too
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- ¼-½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated (or ground)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch Flaky sea salt or regular salt
- 6 tablespoons butter Melted, salted or unsalted. If using unsalted, add additional ⅛-¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Place graham crackers (9 whole sheets) in a plastic baggie and crush using a rolling pin or process lightly in a food processor. Pour into a medium mixing bowl and add light brown sugar (¼ cup), fresh grated or ground nutmeg (½ tsp), and cinnamon (1 tsp).
- HINT: Some larger pieces are great for the graham cracker crumble; if making a crust, make sure the grahams are crushed more uniform.
- Stir in flaky sea salt (pinch), then pour in melted butter (tablespoons), stirring to coat well.
- HINT | You can certainly use regular salt too, but flaky sea salt adds little bursts of sweet-salty goodness!
- Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper or spray with a little non-stick spray, spread gluten free graham topping evenly on the pan. Bake in preheated 325° F (165° C) oven for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before using.

Notes
- Storage Tips | Once the graham cracker topping has cooled completely, break it apart and place in an airtight baggie or container. Keeps on the countertop 2-3 weeks; refrigerate or freeze for longer storage, up to 6 months. Bring to room temp before serving.
- Variations & Substitutions
- Vegan Graham Cracker Topping | Replace butter with plant-based butter or melted coconut oil and make sure grahams are vegan.
- FLAVORS | Use Biscoff or Speculoos cookies instead of grahams, or try ginger snaps or any combination of the above along with graham crackers.
- SPICES | Use Pumpkin Pie Spice in place of cinnamon and nutmeg. Or your favorite spices.
- Spicy Graham Cracker Crumble | Toss in a few shakes up to ⅛ of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper for a little heat!
- Nutty Graham Cracker Topping | I love adding chopped nuts; chopped pecans, almonds, and walnuts would all be delicious. Add about ¼ cup.
- Ways to Use | Use on parfaits, ice cream, pies, crisps, crumbles, cheesecakes, cakes and so many more, see post for more ideas.
