⅔cupgraham cracker crumbs4-5 full sheets of graham crackers.
2tablespoonsunsalted buttermelted
1teaspoongranulated sugar
A pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F
Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground, or put them in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt.
Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. The mixture should have a sandy texture and hold together when pinched.
Transfer the mixture to a 4-inch pie or tart pan. Using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup, press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, or until it's lightly golden and fragrant.
Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding your desired filling. If you're using a no-bake filling, consider chilling the crust in the refrigerator for at least an hour to firm up.
Notes
You can buy pre-made crumbs or make your own by crushing about 4 full sheets of graham crackers.Ensure the graham cracker crumbs are fully moistened but not soggy.Substitute the butter with coconut oil to make a vegan crust.For a twist, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumbs.
