For a variation, you can substitute chocolate graham cracker crumbs, vanilla wafer crumbs or gingersnap crumbs.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 10 graham crackers
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¾ stick butter

  4. Melt the butter, and stir it into the crumb mixture, mixing thoroughly until all the crumbs are equally moistened.

  5. Spread into a 9-inch pie dish, flattening it to an even thickness all around. You can press it down with another pie dish if you have one.

  6. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool fully before filling.
