Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a food processor, or by hand, pulse or crush the Ritz Crackers into coarse shards.

CRACKER PIE CRUST

I used RITZ® crackers to make this easy pie crust, but you could easily use a generic equivalent--any golden round crackers will do the trick! The slight saltiness from the crackers is a nice change from the norm. This pie crust is great for cheesecakes, no-bake pies, and more.

  • To make sure your Ritz cracker pie crust is flaky and delicious, use unsalted butter. Salted butter will make the crust too salty.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the Ritz crackers in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
  • Make sure to press the Ritz cracker crumbs firmly into the pie pan. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
  • If you're making a no-bake pie, you can chill the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before filling it. This will help to firm up the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Ritz cracker pie crust is a versatile crust that can be used for both sweet and savory pies. Try using it for a classic pecan pie, a creamy chocolate pie, or a savory chicken pot pie.

Ritz cracker pie crust is an easy and delicious way to make a homemade pie. It's perfect for busy cooks who don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.
