Author: Maria
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 1 pie crust
Ingredients
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (approx. 10-11 whole graham crackers)
¼ cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
6 tbsp melted butter (I prefer salted.)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a pie dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Place graham crackers in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and crush/roll the crackers until they are tiny crumbs. You want the size to be as consistent as possible. This can be done in a food processor if you prefer.
Once crackers are completely crushed, add the granulated sugar and mix until incorporated.
Next, add the melted butter and mix until completely combined.
Pour mixture into the pie dish and press with a measuring cup as pictured or with your hand inside of a plastic bag until the crust mixture is evenly pressed over the entire pie pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes or until just starting to brown on the edge.
Let cool before filling with no-bake fillings, or it can be used immediately if filling with something that goes back into the oven to bake.
Crust can be tightly wrapped after completely cooled and frozen for future use if desired.
Enjoy!
