Originally from the Fanny Farmer Baking Book. I use it for my Lemon Meringue and Key Lime Pies. I don't usually add the cinnamon but it is an option.

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 1 8 or 9-inch pie crust, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12-14 whole crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl, then add the butter and optional cinnamon.
  • Stir with a fork until crumbs are moistened.
  • Empty the mixture in the pie plate, then pat and press mixture evenly all around the bottom and sides of the plate.
  • Before filling, either bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or chill for about an hour.
  • (You simply want the crust to be firm and both baking and chilling will do that, although I prefer baking.).
