Graham Cracker Crust  Making your own graham cracker crust is so easy and tastes so much better, you’ll never buy one from the store again!

I am a huge fan of graham cracker crusts, it might be my love of graham crackers dunked in milk as a treat that contributes to that but I love them!!  I often will use a graham cracker crust, even when the recipe calls for a pastry crust like with my French Silk Pie.  I love the sweetness and texture it gives to a pie. How to Make A Graham Cracker Crust All you need are three ingredients and if you are like me, you always have them on hand.  Graham crackers are a staple at our house! You will need 1 1/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and 5 Tbsp of butter. I use my mini food processor to make my graham cracker crumbs but a blender will work also.  You will be using 10 sheets of graham crackers (that is two squares to a sheet) Mix together the crumbs, sugar and butter. Mix together until it is combined and looks like wet sand. Press the crumbs into a 8 or 9 inch pie dish, pushing the crumbs up the sides of the pan also. You can even use a 10 inch dish, the crust will just be a bit thinner and will cook a bit faster.
