How to Make Perfect And Simple Graham Cracker Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8 or 9-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure an even layer.
Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before adding your pie filling. For unbaked pies, chill the crust for at least 1 hour before filling.
