One sleeve of plain graham crackers (makes about 1 1/2 cups), smashed in the bag or ground in the blender
1/3 cup white or light brown sugar
6 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Prep
Preheat oven to 375F.
Put the butter in a bowl and cover it with a small plate.
Microwave the butter in 30 second increments until fully melted. For me, one minute in the microwave and leaving it until I’m done with the graham crackers has it completely melted.
Put the graham crackers into the freezer bag and smash them with the mallet. Take your time, enjoy it and get your stress out.
Or – grind them in the blender
Instructions
Mix the smashed graham crackers, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a mixing bowl with a fork.
Then add the melted butter and mix thoroughly. It will be crumbly and not very wet or stick together much, that’s okay.
Press into the pie pan with a fork. I start with the sides and then even out the bottom.
Bake at 375F for 7 minutes.
Add time in 1-2 increments if needed. The crust is complete when it’s just starting to brown along the edges.
Notes
I use a glass pie pan so I can see the crust better. Darker pans catch more heat so will be darker faster.
