Ingredients

3 cups Honey Maid graham crackers (280g/9.8oz), crushed (2 packs)
1 ¼ sticks butter (140g – 6oz – ¾c), melted
3 tbs powdered sugar (24g)

Instructions

Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until coarsely crushed.
Add graham crackers and powdered sugar together in a bowl and mix well.
Add 140g melted butter, blend with a fork, with your hands for a quicker result.
Press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. I use the back of a drinking cup or jar to shape against the pie plate.
The crust should be about a ½” thick on all surfaces of the pie plate.

Notes

Handy Tips:

Place the finished crust in the freezer while preparing the desired filling.
To assist with a quick release of the crust, dip the bottom inch of the pie plate in warm water for 60 seconds.
Always use freshly purchased graham crackers to ensure the best flavor and avoid staleness.
Always weigh your butter before melting to achieve the perfect texture ratio of butter to the cracker.
Do not press too aggressively when forming the crust for the best results with the final texture.
