Ingredients

1 ½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs (9-11 full sheets)
6 Tablespoons butter, melted
⅓ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Finely crush graham crackers in a food processor or by placing them in a ziploc bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar, mixing with a fork.
Drizzle melted butter over the crumbs and stir with a fork until crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press mixture into a 9” pie plate using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass. You may need to use your fingers to press the sides until compact.
For a baked graham cracker crust: Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned just around the edges. Cool completely before filling.
For a no-bake graham cracker crust: Chill for 1-2 hours before filling.

Notes

For a slight flavor change, you can substitute an equal amount of brown sugar for the granulated sugar, or add ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs.
