Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (approx. 10-12 full sheets)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon (if not using cinnamon graham crackers)

Instructions

Prepare Crumbs: Place graham crackers in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag and crush them thoroughly with a rolling pin until fine.
Mix: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. (If you want a cinnamon crust, add 1/2 tsp cinnamon here or use cinnamon graham crackers). Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.
Press: Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
Cook:
Oven Method: Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Microwave Method: Microwave for 90 seconds.
Cool: Allow the crust to cool completely before adding your filling. If using the microwave method, chill the crust in the refrigerator after it cools to room temperature to help it set.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips

When pressing the crumbs into your pie plate, use the bottom of a flat measuring cup to get a nice, even layer and a tight pack. This ensures the crust won't crumble when you go to serve your slices. If you’re making a chocolate-based pie, try using chocolate graham crackers for a delicious twist!
