Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Whisk the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Use a fork to cut in the melted butter.
  • Press into a 9" pie pan, using the back of a large spoon or measuring cup to help firmly press.
  • If you are making a no-bake pie or cheesecake, chill the crust for 2 hours before filing.
  • For a baked pie, pre-bake the crust per your recipes direction, typically 7-8 minutes at 350 °F, before filling.

Notes

 We always add a touch of cinnamon but a little ginger, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice would add a unique flavor that would compliment any pie.
