Classic Homemade Graham Cracker Pie Crust

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F and position the oven rack in the middle for even heat distribution.

2. Process Graham Crackers

Break the graham crackers into 1-inch pieces and place them in a food processor. Pulse for about 30 seconds until they turn into fine crumbs.

3. Combine Ingredients

Drizzle in the melted and cooled butter along with the sugar into the food processor. Pulse the mixture about five times to evenly distribute the butter and sugar.

4. Form Crust

Take a 9-inch pie plate and sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly across the bottom. Using the bottom of a dry measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into the plate, covering both the bottom and the sides evenly.

5. Bake Crust

Place the pie plate in the oven and bake for 13 to 18 minutes, until the crust becomes fragrant and just begins to brown.

6. Cool Crust

Transfer the crust to a wire rack to cool. You can use it warm or let it cool completely, depending on your pie recipe.
