Makes one 9pinch pie or tart pan
Graham crackers come in a variety of flavors, including honey graham, chocolate, and cinnamon. If you do not have a food processor to create crumbs, use a resealable bag and a rolling pin to finely crush the crackers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (4 oz; from 8 to 9 sheets) graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 4 tablespoons (2 oz) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat a pie or tart pan with softened butter and dust it with flour.
- Combine the crumbs with the sugar in a bowl and rub with your fingers to incorporate.
- Add the melted butter to the mixture and mix thoroughly until all the crumbs are moistened. Squeeze the mixture together in your hand. If it holds together in a clump, it is thoroughly mixed.
- Using your fingers, press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
- Refrigerate or freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned, or fill the crust unbaked, as directed in the pie or tart recipe.
