Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe dish or a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter into the graham cracker mixture and stir thoroughly with a fork or spatula until the crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble wet sand.

Step 5

Transfer the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan. Use your fingers or the back of a measuring cup to press the mixture evenly and firmly across the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before adding any fillings.

Step 7

For no-bake desserts, skip the baking step and chill the pressed crust in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm before adding the filling.
