GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (11 graham crackers)

2 Tablespoons sugar

  • Crush the crackers – Process your graham crackers in a food processor (or place them in a large ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them) until you have fine, sandy crumbs.

  • Add the sugars – Transfer your crumbs to a bowl and stir in the sugars.

  • Melted butter – Pour in melted butter and toss everything together with a fork.

  • Mix it up – Toss the ingredients together until all of the crumbs are moistened and the mixture is well-combined.

  • Press into your pan – Transfer your crumbs to your pie plate or springform pan and press them tightly into the bottom of the pan and up the sides.

  • Smooth the sides – Use your fingers to press the crumbs firmly all around the sides of the pie pan to make a nice even edge.
