Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°.
- Finely grind up graham crackers. The finer they are ground the easier it will be to mix them with the sugar and butter and then press into a pie pan.
- You can grind the graham crackers by placing them in a ziploc plastic bag and rolling them with a rolling pin, or by processing them in a food processor. NOTE: If you do not want to grind your own graham cracker crumbs, some grocery stores sell pre-ground graham cracker crumbs.
- Place the graham cracker crumbs in a medium-sized bowl.
- Whisk in the sugar.
- Pour melted butter over the crumbs and using a spatula or large spoon mix well.
- Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch pie pan.
- Using the bottom of a measuring cup or drinking glass lightly press the graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of pan and then use your fingers to lightly press the crumbs about ½-inch up the sides of the pan. **NOTE: Use a light touch to press the crumbs into the pan, otherwise, the crust will stick to the pan and serving the pie will be difficult.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until just golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before adding a filling.
