GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

A homemade graham cracker crust takes any pie to the next level! If pie crusts are intimidating, use a graham cracker crust instead. You can’t go wrong with it I promise.

HOW TO MAKE A GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

In just minutes you can make a homemade graham cracker crust.

1. The ingredients in a graham cracker crust are simple. Melted butter, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs.
   
2. Mix it all together well. It will be the texture of wet sand.
   
3. Press the crumb mixture into a pie pan. Pressing with your hand or the back of measuring cup.
   
4. For a no-bake pie, chill the crust in the fridge for about 1 hour. For a baked pie, bake at 350 F for 7-8 minutes.

HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER TO BAKE IT OR CHILL IT?

That is personal preference. If you don’t want to turn on your oven, chill it. I like the slight toast that the crust has when it is baked.

Here are some pie recipes you can use this crust in.
