Report
Learn how to make a Graham Cracker Crust from scratch. Homemade Graham Cracker Crust is sweet, buttery, and miles ahead of anything you can buy at the store.

Ingredients
- 9 Graham crackers (see note 1)
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (see note 2)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, blender, or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, finely crush graham crackers (you will have about 1 1/2 cups crumbs).
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, press the crust evenly and firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
- Bake until golden brown and fragrant, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a rack.
Notes
- Graham crackers: Honey-flavored, cinnamon, or even chocolate graham crackers all work well. If graham crackers aren’t available in your part of the world, you can substitute 1 ½ cups crushed digestive biscuits (9 sheets of graham crackers yields about 1 ½ cups of crumbs).
- Sugar: Or substitute 2 tablespoons brown sugar or omit sugar from the crust entirely.
- Yield: This Graham Cracker Crust recipe creates enough to fill a 9-inch springform pan, which will serve about 12 to 16 slices. Or, use this recipe for a 9-inch square baking pan.
- Make ahead: After baking, cool completely and then store covered (or wrapped in plastic) in the refrigerator up to 3 days in advance.
- Freezer: Freeze the baked, cooled crust up to 3 months in advance. Thaw at room temperature before using.
