6 tablespoons butter, softened
⅓ cup white sugar

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. This will help the crust to hold together better.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.
  • Be sure to measure the melted butter accurately. Too much butter will make the crust too greasy, while too little butter will make it too dry.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
  • Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes before filling it. This will help the crust to set and hold its shape.
