Graham Cracker Crust Recipe
Learn how to make an easy homemade graham cracker crust at home. Perfect for pies, cheesecakes and bar recipes!
Equipment
- food processor optional
- 1 9-inch pie dish
Ingredients
- 12 graham cracker sheets or 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 3 ounces unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In the bowl of a food processor add the graham crackers and pulse until you have crumbs.
- Stir in the sugar, salt and melted butter until evenly combined.
- Add the graham cracker mixture to a 9-inch pie dish and spread it into an even layer. Press the crumbs up the sides first, then across the bottom, using the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it down firmly and evenly.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Cool before filling.
