Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs (12 graham crackers)
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp light brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a standard 9 inch pie dish or springform pan with cooking spray.
  • Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs.
  • In a medium bowl melt the butter in the microwave using the melt function.
  • To the butter add the graham crackers, granulated and brown sugar and toss together with a spoon until fully moistened. (You can use all granulated sugar, if desired.)
  • Dump the buttered crumbs into the pie pan and press firmly onto the bottom and sides of the pie dish. (Using the bottom of a measuring cups works great for this!)
  • Place into the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden, fragrant and set.
  • Cool completely, then fill with your favorite pudding, no bake cheesecake filling or pie filling.
