Graham Cracker Pie Crust
Yield: 1 pie crust
Cook Time: 10-15 minutes
Graham Cracker Pie Crust is a crumbly and mildly sweet pie crust that
beautifully accompanies all sorts of pies (and cheesecakes), including cream pies, yogurt pies, ice cream pies, mousse pies and more. Examples of some pies that taste fabulous with this crust are Lemon Cream Cheese Pie, Key Lime Yogurt Pie and ice cream pies, such as Lemonade Ice Cream Pie and Orange Ice Cream Pie. Graham Cracker Pie Crust is easily made with crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar (brown sugar can also be used) and melted butter, and takes only 10-15 minutes in the oven. Once cooled, this delcious crust can be filled with your favorite pie filling. Photo above shows Graham Cracker Pie Crust made with white granulated sugar, though this pie crust tastes fabulous made with brown sugar as well, giving the crust a hint of butterscotch flavor.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup granulated or brown sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients until mixture resembles wet sand. Using your hands, gently but firmly press the mixture across the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, gently flattening the top edge.
Bake until the pie crust is golden brown and firm (about 10-15 minutes). Remove the pie crust from the oven and carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
