Ingredients

  • 25 Graham Cracker Squares
  • 1/2 C Butter (melted)
  • 1 Tsp Sugar

Instructions

  • Process the graham crackers in a food processor until crumbly, OR place them in a Ziploc bag and pound with a rolling pin.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Press mixture into desired pie pan.
  • At this point, refer to the pie recipe you're using for the specific pie being made. Some pies require pre-cooking the crust. In that case, cook at 300° Butter binds this recipe together. I hypothesize that the key to making a more structurally reliable version of the crust is to increase the butter/graham ratio. However, due to the scarcity of grant funding that supports graham cracker crust research … I’ll need to crowd-source! F for 10 min.
