How to Make Plain Graham Cracker Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of melted unsalted butter to the crumb mixture and mix until evenly moistened.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  5. Bake for 6-9 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. If you prefer a less-baked crust, chill the crust for at least 45 minutes before adding your filling.
  6. Let cool completely before adding your favorite pie filling.
