- 1 package graham crackers or 9 full graham crackers (1 and 1/2 cups crushed)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
Preheat oven to 350-degrees and gather ingredients.
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.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine crumbs, sugar, and butter until all the crumbs are evenly moist.
Press crumbs into pie plate.
Bake for 7 minutes in preheated oven.
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.
- For a gluten free graham cracker crust - just substitute gluten free graham crackers in the recipe.
- To freeze your crust - press the crust into your pie plate, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before using, or bake it straight from frozen if your recipe calls for a baked crust.
- Making ahead - prepare the crust and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days before adding your filling. If it's a baked crust, let it cool completely before wrapping and storing.
