Description
This easy graham cracker crust is sweet and buttery with a texture that’s the perfect mixture of chewy and crunchy.
Ingredients
- 1 and ¼ packed cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 whole graham crackers)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar until well combined. Pat mixture into and up the sides of a 9‐inch pie plate or into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or into the bottom of the required dish for the recipe you’re using it for. Tip: use the bottom of a measuring cup to pat down the mixture and be sure to pack it tightly.
- If using for a no-bake recipe, place the prepared pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or the freezer for at least 15 minutes before filling.
- If the crust needs to be pre-baked, refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes before baking. Bake at 375°F for 6-8 minutes (or until lightly golden) and then let cool completely before filling.
- If using the crust as part of a specific recipe, prepare and bake according to the recipe’s instructions.
