How to Make Graham Cracker Crust Microwave

Place 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs in a food processor. If using whole graham crackers, process until finely ground.
Add ¼ cup (55g) melted unsalted butter to the food processor. Pulse until evenly moistened.
Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch microwave-safe pie dish.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish using the bottom of a measuring cup or your fingers.
Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Rotate the dish 180 degrees and microwave for another 30 seconds.
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, rotating 180 degrees after each interval, until the crust is lightly golden and set (total cook time should be between 1-2.5 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning!
Let the crust cool completely in the pie dish before adding your favorite pie filling.
