Equipment
- 8" Pie Plate
Ingredients
- 1½ cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs about 10-13 whole graham cracker sheets
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons plant-based butter melted
Instructions
- Grind up the graham crackers into fine crumbs. This is done best using a food processor, but you can also place the graham crackers in a bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
- Fold in the brown sugar and butter until fully combined.
- Pour into whatever pie, springform, etc pan of your choosing. Using medium pressure, pat the crumbs down with your hand to form a compact crust on the bottom and sides. Avoid using heavy force, as this can make the crust too hard; just pat until the mixture is no longer crumbly. For smoother results, you can use a small flat-bottomed measuring cup to press down the bottom crust, but be gentle.
Notes
- Making a pie? Run a spoon around the bottom "corner" where the edge meets the bottom to create a rounded crust, which helps prevent it from falling apart when sliced.
- Gluten-free? Simply use gluten-free graham crackers or other favorite gluten-free cookies.
