Yield Makes one 9-inch crust

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 1/2 ounces graham crackers (12 crackers), finely ground (1 1/2 cups)
2 1/2 ounces (5 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined.
  • Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake until crust is fragrant and edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips for Making the Best Graham Cracker Crust:

  • Use fresh graham crackers. Stale graham crackers will result in a crumbly crust.
  • Pulse the graham crackers finely. This will help the crust to hold together better.
  • Use melted butter. Melted butter will help the crust to be more moist and flavorful.
  • Press the crust firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
  • Chill the crust before filling it. This will help the crust to set and prevent it from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

A graham cracker crust is a classic dessert crust that is easy to make and can be used for a variety of pies and cheesecakes. By following these tips, you can make the best graham cracker crust every time.
