The Homemade Graham Cracker Crust Recipe Extremely simple to make, this crust infuses pies with an unexpected sweet honey taste and a great, crunchy texture.
It pairs especially well with Twisted Citrus Blackberry Pie, S’more’s Delight Pie, and Banana Cream Pie.
You can also keep it simple and fill this crust with a vanilla pastry cream filling (which can be found as part of the Boston Cream Pie), then top it with Whipped Cream or Meringue.
Makes one 9-inch crust
Ingredients:
24 graham cracker sheets, finely chopped (1½ cups)
1 tablespoon sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add the melted butter, using your fingertips to incorporate it with the graham cracker mixture.
Spread the graham cracker mixture evenly across the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate so that it covers the entire dish. There should be no gaps in the crust.
Bake the crust for about 5 minutes, or until it’s golden brown. Cool the pie shell for 30 minutes before adding your desired filling.
