  • Optional: 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Optional: dash of cinnamon, nutmeg or all-spice

Directions:

  1. Place the graham crackers inside a 1 gallon plastic bag then over the plastic bag roll the crackers with a rolling pin until the crackers are turned into crumbs.
  2. Melt the butter.
  3. Add the cracker crumbs and optional ingredients to butter, mix together.
  4. Press mixture onto pie plate or pan.
  5. If you would like to prebake the crust then bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.
