Ingredients

  • 1½ cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter until well blended.
  3. Press mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 6–7 minutes and let cool completely (about 1 hour) before filling.

Notes

  • Variations. For a chocolatey pie crust, replace the graham crackers with original Oreos. You do not need to remove the Oreo filling—just crush them in a food processor and use them the same way as graham cracker crumbs.
  • Fillings. The options are endless! Some of our favorite pies to make with a graham cracker crust include Key Lime Pie, Cream Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie, and Pumpkin Pie.
