Homemade Graham Cracker Crust in a white pie plate

Graham Cracker Crust

Some desserts just need a graham cracker crust. It's a perfect pairing for the richness of cheesecake and a sweet pairing for tart key lime pie. You can use store-bought graham crackers, of course, but if you're feeling ambitious, I highly recommend starting with my Homemade Graham Crackers recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs about 5 oz.
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 2 oz unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • In a food processor, mix together the graham crackers, brown sugar, salt, and butter.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it out in an even layer.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes, until it starts to look lightly toasted.
